Our agenda Philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities. The following are some general comments about how we'll run the agenda at the CA Tech Fest - Our goal is to get each participant the answers and the understanding they need. The ultimate goal of the event is to strengthen a community of practice among nonprofits and community organizations in California, and engender collaboration and dialog that sustain long after September 2012. - The agenda is malleable. '''Participants should feel free to propose sessions at any time''', and sessions may be moved around to accommodate requests by both participants and facilitators, and... We'll use part of the first morning to let participants discuss the agenda, and request additional sessions to be offered. - Sessions are designed to be highly interactive. You won't see any panels or keynotes at the CA Tech Fest, and presentations will be short and intended to spur discussion. Facilitators understand that their primary goal is to enable learning, address questions, and support peer sharing. Bring your questions, and your knowledge to share! - We'll use the wiki at the event to capture notes from each session. We welcome your contributions to the wiki.

Understand from stakeholders what causes them the most pain or what needs are not met within your website and try to make it better. Figure out points of crisis/injury and identify points of need. Passion – there are always a group of people that care about what you’re working on. So you want to tape into that and give voice to the people that are feeling what you’re feeling. Question – how do you build a sense of shared ownership and, therefore, accountability- that’s a question that you have to ask as you build your online presence. NOTE- When you tap into their passions - always give people a small amount of ownership and then make them give more. Develop small, well-defined asks. Fame – weave your base and your community into your narrative. Orgs are in a paradigm where they have to talk about themselves and their successes for funding purposes. How can we turn this around and highlight people in your network that are doing amazing work around the issues that you’re collectively working on. Making people part of your narrative in a noncommittal way through social media gives them “fame” and by default engages them more. PAIN- Motivation, what are their points of strength and what encourages them. Existential loneliness. PASSION- Tap into by giving people a role in your website. PDF forms. Well defined asks of action. FAME- weave your community into your organizing. Giving communities online fame. Draw attention to what is online. FUN- celebration of life. Convey the joy and emotion in what you're doing. Make our offline work relevant to our online network. Participate for THEM! So they'll participate for YOU. At staff meetings thank them for giving feedback. Shared ownership. Get everyone's voices What are useful bridging activities (for people that have an “offline” and “online” network) – how do make what’s happening offline in your work relevant to your online audience. If you want people to come to your protest – you better have gone to a couple of protests. Value creation conversation - if you can’t describe the way in which you are giving value to groups in your network, you can’t have the expectation that they will give back and support your needs. Using the jpeg – posting people’s pictures on the Internet invokes the feeling of getting your name or picture in the local paper. It builds excitement, engagement, ownership. Fun – you must convey the joy in what you are doing, even when you are working on serious issues. Look for the celebration of life or paint a narrative around what happens when your message/movement works. Build a transactional relationship that highlights the best case scenario and shows what the world can be – based on what actions that you want people to take. Building a website with your staff Make it a participatory process that brings in your staff across programs in order to zero in on what they need and what they envision. Use that knowledge to create a website that works. These are the people that are connected to your audience and knows what they are gravitating to and what areas of the website that they use. Have a process that gets everyone’s voice onto the website and bring their voices out to the fore. Focus on two phases – creation of content by staff (where you take on the role of being the sole poster) – focus on “content coaching” Questions/observations that you have to consider when developing blogging/content for website? Do you want one voice or diversity of voices? How can you make sure your website is consistent with your values composition? How do you ensure consistency and quality – particularly when you have various bloggers? How do you ensure that content is going up regularly and is fresh and timely? How do you make sure that you are engaging your audiences and highlighting them – while still uplifting your work? Pin down your audiences – and make sure that you are speaking to them first. NOTE – you should not have more than three audiences. Create one sentence descriptions or profiles of your audiences and lay out how they relate to the website and how they will go through the website E-Newsletter Q: Which tool do you use? Vertical Response; MailChimp (prettiest templates but hardest to customize templates); Constant Contact; Salsa It takes a long time – allocate 10-20 hours to do a newsletter but it can take to 3 to 4 days HTML coding is different in every browser and program (there’s no standard right now) - notice that it will look different and you should test that as much as possible to make sure that it looks how you want it to look. If you have a long newsletter (longer than two pages) you should have a table of contents at the beginning of the newsletter. 1998 HTML coding/ that is the only type of coding that’s allowed to be used for newsletters and email. Is the email blasting worth the time? Every email (including newsletters) should be trying to get people to do something and you have to figure out what the ask is behind the email and strategically how you will get that ask in. It’s not a megaphone that you use to tell people how amazing you are. Keep in mind that a lot people don’t load pictures, so in this case your picture should tell your story – or be the only thing that tells your story – because it might be lost. Pictures in enewsletter – make sure that it is the size you want it to be BEFORE you upload it into the email. If you are doing an e-newsletter, pick a really targeted audience (one segment of your list) – and focus on generating your content around them. Stay above the fold – huge headers are a waste of time. Try A/B testing with email blasts – try testing your e-newsletter subject title and see which headline was more popular. 72c56a049511dcf8e334aa9604fb4f588bd4f5aa 36 35 2015-04-17T22:05:18Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki Building a Website Keep in mind two Ps and two Fs Pain – as you begin the process you have to figure out where the website is essentially failing; what do you need the website to do in order to be the most effective (for the work of staff and for your target audiences).

Growing audience – a. Building e-mail list, powerful tools – vertical response, constant contact, mailchimp. Having a website designed to build e-mail list. Sign up option on every website page. If you have multiple campaigns, people come to your site through diff pages – core list building best practice. b. FB has a habit of changing things without warning. Hard to make process modifications. Use FB as a e-mail building tool – have them sign up to a list on the FB. c. Search engine optimization 2. Building relationship – a. Pace, frequency of communication, e-newsletter. b. Vital statistic of the e-list. Unsubscribe rate. How are you doing with the fragile relationships? c. Constant Contact – inflates click ratio d. For e-newsletters, once/monthly is a good frequency. Weekly newsletters are not optimal – unsubscribe rates usually go up. 3. Getting action - a. Build a predictable arc of engagement. Consistently set expectations. b. Set expectation of a key milestone c. Update on the milestones – build engagement , investment d. Thanks for taking action (and tell them how their action impacted). Declare success, no matter what. Online petitions are important for list-building tool – you want people to sign up to get your e-mail, petitions. Online template: 3 templates with button language e.

Fundraising (Donate) How to do a call in action – timeline. 8, 6, 4 and 2 weeks (Arnold to send ppt) Putting a call to action in an e-newsletter is not the best practice. Best to do it as a stand alone Action Alert. Cross-client incompatibility: Mail chimp has a lot of good analytics and features, ad work well across different browsers.

Our agenda Philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities. Sessions at Aspirations have particular traits; we de-emphasize presentations and lecture, and instead focus on "break-out" sessions that are self-organized whenever possible.

Our agenda Philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities. Sessions at Aspirations have particular traits; we de-emphasize presentations and lecture, and instead focus on "break-out" sessions that are self-organized whenever possible.

This will also be helped by the exercises below. ==Feeling your chi== * Rub your palms together quickly with your wrists near your torso. * Fingers can be intertwined or pushed away from each other. * After you've rubbed them together for some time, pull them apart and feel the magnetic pull of the chi bringing your hands back together. * Now touch, rub, or tap areas of pain or tension to send healing energy there. ==Rubbing your ears== * In Chinese acupuncture and acupressure, all parts of the body can be reached through the ear. * After focusing chi in your hands with the exercise above, gently pinch and tug your ear lobes with your thumb and forefinger. * Pull your ears straight out away from your head. * Rub the area of the fold behind your ears (the part your parents told you to wash) ==Rubbing your stomach== * First focus energy in your hands using the exercise above. * Use one hand or both (one on top of the other) and rub in a circular, clockwise motion. * This follows the direction of the large intestine and will aid in digestion. ==Rubbing your feet== * Again, rub your hands together first and feel your chi. * Rub in the direction from your ankle to the tips of your toes. * Shake off the bad energy from the tips of your fingers. * Rub between your toes as well. * Notice the instant different in color between your feet after you rub the first foot. 8a40dc27c53a7dc23ab47caee2ddad29f0953f64 0 75 149 2014-04-04T15:38:11Z Josh 3 /* Topics Discussed */ wikitext text/x-wiki ==Participants== * Sergio, Center for Regional Change @ UC Davis * Josh Levinger, tech strategist & developer * Dorion, mobile app developer, westimulate.org * Gina, Unfold * Ron Collins, Labor Community Strategies Center * Joevonte, Black Organizing Project * Yuritzy Gomez, CCISCO ==Introductions== '''Sergio:''' young people have created their own campaigns but not as much use of technology to amplify their voices want to change from university perspective to fit community needs '''Dorion:''' active in community watch initiatives, lack of access for young people digital divide still very real our communities doing training to build mobile apps, job training skills need to develop talent locally, reinvest in youth build networks, connections between individuals to counter negative perceptions '''Ron:''' access may not entirely be the issue (lots of kids on facebook) more engagement, mobilize people (online to offline) how do you talk about "school to prison pipeline" in a way that's engaging, not depressing want to get bodies out of social media, make it a viable organizing tool 1500 followers on facebook, not one person comes out to an event ==Topics Discussed== need to engage members, not just as consumers / followers '''Example:''' mobilization for a public hearing - bus riders union. rsvps work, but likes don't. facebook posts about events not sharing well. is there a good way of learning about your members, following up with them individually?

Learning experiences for readers B. Learning experiences for those collecting stories C. Fundraising strategy D. Can influence political change (hard to do) ==Types of Storytelling== * Interviewing, editing, actively ''curating'' stories * '''User-generated:''' provide a platform for people to submit their own stories. Can have some issues - hard to gather stories, hard to gather cohesive info. Speaking language isn't necessarily ''storytelling'' language. ==Ethics and Policy== * '''Good practice:''' If you curate and edit, go back to original subject/source to share how you edited it, how you want to use it, get final permission. In some cases, you may want to get permission signatures. * Be explicit with source about use of their story * Get written permission to use photo and quotes * Be prepared to show up with forms. Be aware these forms can be off-putting. Make sure it's about protecting the source's words/thoughts ==How to Turn Informal Talks Into Formal Interviews== * Make first contact, build a relationship * Take contact info * Let person(s) know you want to share their story and ''why''. Let them know where their words could appear and how it will be used * Create a list of questions ahead of time. Consider hosting "practice" interviews to get wheels turning ** Ask open-ended questions ** Be a gentle guide for the conversation ** Have follow-up questions to help get and keep people talking on topic <blockquote style="background-color: lightgrey; border: solid thin grey;">'''Exercise''': Involve others in the storytelling process by allowing others to review transcripts of interviews and highlighting what they feel are the most important elements.</blockquote> ==Sharing Stories== Through professional networks, with partners/funders, target press, share stories with other NGOs. ==Look into...== ===PhotoVoice=== Digital storytelling projects. Community-run. Take pics of community, then stitch photos together into a story with audio overlay. Can be themed projects. It's not an app, just a method. Find method on Wikipedia or Google. ===PlaySpent.org=== A game format that educates players on an issue. The issue is poverty. This is one example of interactive storytelling. ===Have a way to share!=== Most people won't find your games, videos, or apps. Think about practical applications. ===Storify=== Creates one cohesive story in Tweet/collaborative form. ===Jesikah Maria Ross=== Praxis Projects uses another storytelling method in which the process of gathering stories informs the overall discussion. ===Tracy's website=== [http://www.voicesfromthevalley.org/ Voices From the Valley] (see some examples of digital stories ) Built on WordPress - features a news feed and RSS feed * Looking for ideas on timeline software ==Text, Photography, or Video?== * Photos really help reach people faster than text. * Mix up your mediums! * Video is more labor intensive, takes some techie knowledge. Photos can be more easily managed * Beautiful vs. Message and Aesthetics vs. Content, up for debate! * Pretty can cost more. 6fe4aa5732a57c709cdb13401f34c32536f6680b 0 100 199 2014-10-01T18:54:44Z Josh 3 wikitext text/x-wiki Understanding introversion allowed improving professional self and learning to manage/maximize energy How to translate mind → words, communicate effectively and be able to switch to group interactions What do you think introversion is? Solitude approach, in a work sense more of a back and forth than a ‘together’ process Self sufficiency Official definition relates it to energy Extrovert: charged by social interaction, drained by solitude Introvert: charged by solitude, drained by social interaction INTROVERT DOES NOT MEAN SHYNESS “saturation”: the feeling when you reach the point in a group interaction setting that you need to take some alone time image to explain: introvert is a bike riding up a hill → you may get tired eventually and need to take a break, but you see the trip in more detail extrovert is a car driving up the hill → it’s fast and effortless, but may not see as much of the hill while traveling some generalized introvert skills/traits: like content, good at connecting the dots, deep talks → are useful in helping relationships stick and ideas grow, slower processing (a lag with a payoff) part of owning your leadership is knowing who you are and your strengths as an introvert in organizing, you have to choose a leadership role if you want one and own it networking as an introvert – how do you manage the quick connections when your connection style may need more time than you have? It can be hard to feel like you’re making a meaningful connection/you feel at a loss for quick topics of conversation Practice Think about connecting as a human being, not just business Best practices for using your introversion as a tool? Check in with your self and energy levels What tradeoffs are you willing to make? Rejecting bias against introverts – recognize the value of your working style Facilitating as an introvert Need to synthesize ideas – already a skill that you possess Get to know people more prior to the facilitation (individual greetings before the meeting/workshop starts, etc), build the connections that make it easier to work with a group Susain Cain – author of Quiet, also TED talks on introversion 59e75a1571c24a0201790839ad33e5da989b22e4 0 1 8 1 2015-02-24T15:31:39Z Courtney 5 Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/Nowek12340|Nowek12340]] ([[User talk:Nowek12340|talk]]) to last revision by [[User:Courtney|Courtney]] wikitext text/x-wiki Welcome to the CA Nonprofit Technology Festival Wiki!

The #CATechFest session list is co-developed with participants, facilitators, and partners in the time leading up to and during the Festival. We strongly encourage you to join in the fun at this unique and interactive gathering! The agenda is designed and facilitated using Aspiration's unique participatory model, in an environment where powerpoint slides are discouraged and dialog and collaboration drive the learning. Our philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities. Sessions at Aspirations have particular traits; we de-emphasize presentations and lecture, and instead focus on "break-out" sessions that are self-organized whenever possible.

Our agenda Philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities. Sessions at Aspirations have particular traits; we de-emphasize presentations and lecture, and instead focus on "break-out" sessions that are self-organized whenever possible.

Audience Assessment: Determine what channels are best to reach different groups. Content will adapt to the medium. 2. Publishing Matrix: Coordinate the different channels that you have—press releases, emails, text messaging, etc—with the content you have. Identifying the best channel for the particular content 3. Message Calendar: Strategically build a story over time to create support for a particular purpose. This could be over a month or a year depending on your purpose, i.e. to get supporters to come out for an event, fundraising drive, etc. Telling a story over time. 4. Tracking & Metrics: Analyzing how well these approaches are working for your org so you can track effectiveness to inform future processes. * Aspirations has built templates (simple spreadsheets in some cases) so that orgs can be more efficient about developing, implementing, and tracking these processes. '''Publishing Matrix:''' This is a spreadsheet that identifies a source of information (event announcement or press release) and all the sources where it can be blasted out. This is what creates a strategic plan for communications. * Prior to creating a publishing matrix an org should have a sense of audience for a particular piece of news before figuring out how it fits in the matrix. * Publishing matrix can be split into separate email lists. The categories should capture what is relevant to the org. Each of these tools is a vehicle for communicating information, and it should fit the content that is being communicated. For example, a website is more formal and static than Facebook. ====Tools Used to Connect:==== * Website * Text * Phone calls * Twitter * FB * E-newsletters * Photos * Panels * Factsheets * Attending Conferences/Networking * Press Releases/Print media * Radio spots * Parties/events * SWAG: Printed tee-shirts and promotional items * Blog * Music * Videos ====Tools Used to Collaborate:==== * Google Docs * Asana * Dropbox * Phone * Email * Skype * Instant Messaging * White Board * Etherpad * Media-Wiki * Text ====Tools Used to Listen: (tools to listen)==== * Dashboard * Twitter * RSS * News stories * Radio * Print news * Blogs * Surveys ====Building a Publishing Matrix==== '''Example:''' 1. Using a survey to capture information—this is contentment development. 2. Determine who you want to share that information with—this is identifying your audience. 3. Identify the best channels for communicating this information (looking at the different types of categories and thinking through how you can connect/collaborate/communicate)—blog, social media, email blast. 4. Complete your publishing matrix—check the boxes on the spreadsheet to develop an action plan for communicating content. 1bb1bc19b8fad15a09b254368fd8b5e904b6b1e6 0 26 52 51 2015-04-17T22:05:18Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki ==Listening Dashboard: Social Media Listening== '''Susan Tenby (Susan@techsoup.org)''' '''@Suzboop on Twitter''' '''Hootesuite.com'''—publishing tool that schedules posts and listens to responses (Facebook & Twitter) '''Netvibes'''—only a listening tool (free) Listening dashboard are a way to use social media more effectively. Mainly Twitter, FB is difficult to listen in on. '''Netvibes'''- a good starter one for listening to the topic you are interested in. Any time anyone mentions the subject you are interested in you get it on your dashboard. netvibes.com/caravanstudios# ====How to build a network:==== * Set up a listening dashboard: * Set up dashboard searches * Gives you content * Lets you know who to follow * You begin to understand who is talking about your subject '''Hashtags:''' a way to categorize tweets and find and recruit new members You can have different dashboards for different programs You can copy other people’s listening dashboard Define: widget, hashtag, * Wthashtag.com * Hashtag.org * Tagwalk.com (gives you related hashtags—very useful) '''Tag Walk''' (adjacent tags to your tags) - These are places you where you can go to find hashtags that relate to your subject area. It will talk you through it when you are setting it up '''Hootsuite:''' * $6 * You can look at the hashtag and see who is treating about a certain event ====Example:==== #NPTech include this hashtag in your tweets and it will turn up in people who follow that '''Twitterlist:''' create a list in twitter and you can follow it in your dashboard * Someone adds you to a list you should follow them. * Periodically check your @ button in Twitter * Respect your followers don’t spam them * Don’t connect Facebook to Twitter—this is why hashtags show up in Facebook * Take the same message and modify it for the platform. It’s bad to just feed your thoughts into the different platforms The purpose is to tailor your message so that you can see who follows you not just blast out a broadcast '''Create a new list:''' * Outreach * Go to your influential followers and '''Lists:''' * Create List * Friendly Tweeters (people who will retweet you) '''Tweetchats''' are the easiest way to get new followers: ====Example:==== #pmchat (project managers) * Find experts on a certain topic in real time '''SocialBro'''- an analytics tool for Twitter—quantifyies data * Don’t be intimidated by the dashboard: free trial, great tool * Makes it super easy to report '''Commun.it:''' Free easy listening dashboard—great way to get started with a listening dashboard * Groups are like twitter lists '''Buffer''' —free tool that lets you schedule tweets for later 89be3511962f92752d1f869c120a56691d9e7838 0 27 54 53 2015-04-17T22:05:19Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki ==Website Development & Re-Development == Talk to '''Aspiration''' about how to build the website.

Wordpress does it for you, you don't have to worry about that. * Question: can you take a Flash website and turn it into a Wordpress website? ** Content is what's important: look at the structure of how your website is made, take your content, move it to Wordpress. * CMS shouldn't need a techie to add/organize content, BUT you may need a techie/developer to build or design the site in the first place. * What do you want out of a website? ** Our organization has an outdated, haphazardly created website, we need a new one; we want to figure out how to economically set up a structure from the very beginning that will allow us to fill the content and do the operation and maintenance without a tremendous amount of ongoing website. There are fairly sophisticated things that we hope to do (e.g. password-protected content on the site for statewide coalition members.) Are there ways for one of the more simple WordPress sites to do that? * Different kinds of websites: ** Basic informational page ** People sign up for the site, go into password protected website--that's something to talk about with a developer * We won't be able to pay for the entirety of what we want all at once; how do we set that up intelligently, in phases, so you don't have to undo what's done. Suspect that means having an overarching plan with the vision. * How can you allow grassroots, rural members to contribute? ===Domains and hosting=== ** Wordpress and Drupal are free open source software. ** When you buy a domain name, some companies also give you very basic web hosting and website software ** There are other web hosts that let you install your own software, e.g. Drupal and Wordpress--you download the software, install it, and change it the way you want. ** You don't need to go with WordPress.com or DrupalGardens.com; you can host those things elsewhere. * Important to keep a maintenance schedule to keep up with software updates; good practice to check the updates regularly, have a schedule for that. * Updates to basic WordPress or Drupal software ("core software") are easy for end users to do; with more custom built sites and complicated sites, updates can break the site more easily. ===What are the costs for maintenance?=== ** Some developers will leave you set up to do updates yourse;f; be careful of folks who don't give you that information! ** Sometimes you can get folks to donate time to maintain your site! ** One shop's example: maintenance is usually 30 minutes a month ===Case study=== * One organization wants an e-learning system for clients; some folks can't come to a lab to do stuff; they're using Joomla, want to add this feature to the site; have something centralized. ** There are LMS --learning management systems--and course management systems; one is Moodle (open source) ** You can have a website, have a page be a lesson, embed your videos. ===Breaking down websites=== ** Domain name: yournamehere.com or yournamehere.organization ** Hosting: space that you rent on servers where you keep your website files, databases, etc. Can really range in price: from $5/mo to thousands/mo ** Choosing hosting: figure out the website you need, then make sure your host can accommodate that. * Interested in more resources? Are there online assessments to figure out what you need? ** Aspiration has lots of resources on their website; also offer free consulting. 271c73babc81f7cbffde78fa165d91da4b9e4fd4 0 33 66 65 2015-04-17T22:05:19Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki facilitated by Jordan Ramos of Aspiration/GIIP ==Three potentially catastrophic security risks as an activist== * Government: they have near infinite resources to be able to record your activity, create profiles on you of exactly who you are and what you do; ** There are intergovernment attacks, e.g. the U.S. vs China; doesn't particularly affect activists * Corporate or interorganizational attacks: people who are direct enemies to your work might try to sabotage it, e.g. by intercepting sensitive data, leaking it, altering it so that it's slanderous and make you look bad; happens frequently * Small-scale: petty hackers, usually independent agents, main goal is to get data that is valuable to them, e.g. things they can sell, credit card numbers, passwords; they want to either be able to get onto your computer and control as much as possible, or take as much as possible to benefit themselves financially. Most are not organized; sometimes there are hacker organizations but they tend to be very loose, not specific; not trying to destroy you specifically. Working with sensitive communities, e.g. undocumented immigrants, makes you more of a target; if you have a list of contacts in Google Docs, ICE will get their hands on it. Important to maintain security in order to protect the communities you want to work with. ==Methods for security== * Data level, e.g. your computer ** If you're connected to the internet and someone has a backdoor to your system, they will be able to access your files and read anything that's there; caveat with some backdoor viruses, even if you think your internet is off they can activate it remotely without your knowledge. Turn on your webcam or microphone without your knowledge, eavesdrop on conversations. E.g. Finfisher/Finspy--take complete control of your entire computer, record keystrokes, etc. * To protect yourself against risks: ** Don't be the weakest link. You're only as secure as the least secure part of your system. If you're sending someone emails over http, and neither you nor them takes any measure to use HTTPS/SSL, because email is encrypted while it goes across the wire (verifies that the end server is who they say they are.) ** If someone access a website or sends email using http, their data is totally visible ** OTR chat: same end-to-end encryption; your instant message is encrypted before it goes out using keys, decrypted at the end. ** If you're using HTTP with OTR, the message AND the connection are encrypted ** proxy settings: messages/data goes from your computer through other servers so your ** HTTPS: connection is scrambled when it goes out until it reaches the endpoint *** every character has a four-bit numerical binary encoding (0000, 0001, 0011, 0057, etc) *** encryption multiples each four-bit numerical binary encoding by a huge number, which is your encryption key; in order to decrypt it, you need to divide the large number *** two different sets of keys: private and public. You only have to share your public key; while the public key lets you encrypt a message to a person, it doesn't give you the data you need to decrypt a message sent to them--their private key. ** Public and private keys are relevant to communications since it involves two sets of keys ** When you encrypt a filesystem or individual files, you don't need two keys, don't need a public key; it's local, you're the only person using it. You give it a passphrase in order to reveal the private key, which you're never actually shown. * TrueCrypt = encrypted folders; anything you drag in is automatically encrypted and reasonably safe * If you're more paranoid, you can harden your laptop; involve encrypting your hard drive. Doesn't protect you from connection attacks, but protects the data on your computer when it's off; someone can't use your computer or access the files without your computer. ==Q & A== ===What's the arc of your conversation as Aspiration about security? How do you take someone through risk assessment?=== * It's a major challenge; if people don't perceive a risk they won't change their behavior. * If it's framed in a way that you're only as strong as the weakest link, then people might be more interested; if they have allies that work in sensitive material or risky behavior, chances are they're not going to be as willing to share information with you if you're not secure; you can't fully engage with them without compromising their movement as a whole. ===How do you make it easy for average organizations to be more secure?=== * Recommend easy software solutions to enhance security: ** Security-in-a-box from Tactical Tech: hands-on how-to guides for setting up encryption, be secure, make sure mobile devices are secure ** Guardian Project: open source mobile security software, e.g. encrypted VoIP ** TOR ** go with Internet service providers that a) take proper security measures and b) will fight for you. ** Checking for malware: ClamAV, ClamXAV, AVG, Gibberbot (for Android phones) ** CSipSimple (Android, Adium, Pidgin), Jitsi: VoIP client and Ostel = VoIP telephone server: provides each person with a numerical code so you can verify you have the same code and it's actually encrypted, not tampered with ** Little Snitch (Mac) or other equivalents: 93599ffbca447e78c5a3fa9f95fcac2b95bb1a0c 0 34 68 67 2015-04-17T22:05:19Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki facilitated by Ruth Miller ==Areas of interest== # Tech products/practices # Development: how to actually design an infographics # Packaging and distribution ==Tech Products and Practices== ===Products=== * Helps to have a tech-savvy staff member, and get software into as many hands as possible. * Can be difficult to get software. * Open-source or low-cost alternatives can be available: GIMP and Sketch (Photoshop, but web only), Inkscape (Illustrator), Quantum GIS (Arcmap), Mapbox, Tilemill, Mangomaps (mapping). ===Mapping: Why are other mapping products better than Google maps?=== * Customized look and feel. * Easier to assign data to marker. * Arcmap and Quantum are better for analysis than display. * Mango and Tilemill are better for display/communication. * Google maps is useful when collaborating with lots of people. ==How to Design Content== * Storytelling: What story (or part of the story) do you tell? How do you narrow down and focus? * Collaboration is key. * Context can be visually supported rather than explicitly laid out in text. * Looking for language * People may have different kinds of questions: interpret quickly what you're trying to pull. * Does the wording or the imagery come first? It varies. * Decide whether a story needs imagery or should be an infographic. * How to decide what to focus on: trial and error; sketch and doodle, even if you think you can't draw well; train yourself to be brief; get good pens but cheap paper, brainstorm ideas to explore, sketch stories, storyboard. ===Resources=== * Abby VanMuijen's videos on global poverty newscenter.berkeley.edu/2013/04/08/globalpov-art-videos-and-twitter-take-poverty-curriculum-to-the-world/ * Noun Project: a site whose goal is to create icons for every noun than exists. thenounproject.com * Edward Tufte: an example of narowing down story to its most essential components edwardtufte.com * For kids Photo Voice photovoice.org b602e9f66190e96ebccd4f442785abe41253dd78 0 35 70 69 2015-04-17T22:05:19Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki ===Who was there?=== * Samir * Grant * Antonio * Adam * Monica * Susan * John – recovered wall st. data analyst * Kate – law library * Mike 8e20a6b8c955d3a0a14fa5c42a1e0393aa20ec37 0 36 72 71 2015-04-17T22:05:19Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki ===Who was there?=== * Diana – Los Photos project L.A. * Nick * Ashley * Triny –Coachella * Mike-ZD * Maaika- Ryse Center Richmond * Bobby –S.

relationship building, online connectivity, good email list, good social media * nonprofits are used to working in an environment of scarcity but be generous, spend time building relationships by sharing and promoting sister/ally organizations * add to donor database but also keep your communications w/ them relevant to crowdfunding project/keep it in the platform * use videos * send updates * '''thank donors!!!!''' ===platforms:=== * platforms automatically collect name, email, etc but can also donate anonymously * approx 280 platforms across all currencies * additional platforms facilitate in-kind donations i.e. volunteers, refreshments, monitors for an event * platforms + credit card service charges, lower end 5% and upper end of 10% * some platforms charge immediately, some hold credit card info before charging * platforms have little or no oversight in terms of accountability re: funds usage ====Popular platforms==== * indigogo - get whatever you raise, service charge around 12% * kickstarter - all or nothing, you reach goal and funded or you don't get * any funds * rockethub * razoo ===successful examples:=== * obama campaign 2008, most donations < $100 bucks for bucksbuck shot injuries eae5fc5cbd235c3e6f38e2df4555d76e4cdbc887 0 50 100 99 2015-04-17T22:05:20Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki '''Design Action''' is a co-op design shop in oakland * Development = coding * Design =visuals * '''DA does both''' ===Case Study of process of development (slides) Causa Justa=== * How design helps tell your story * Causa Justa is a collaboration of Oakland and SF groups working together around housing rights and Latino issues * DA was hired to create a website and branding to communicate the combination.

(blueprint of each portion of site) * Step 3. Colors, themes, typography etc for the ultimate design * CJ ended up with a logo and color themes that have been used and adapted in many forms -- newspaper, banners, poster series, etc ===Q & A=== '''Q .how often rebrand to update the look? Classic or trendy/fresh?''' A. Balance but no logo lasts forever. For the fairly frequent refresh, might change the h type or modify the image but keep concept and or color. Sometimes a big change is used when organization is making a fresh start '''Q. How long is the design process?''' A. It is a long process to develop logo/site from scratch, quick if it's a new poster for existing client with existing assets. When first starting with an org, takes a while to learn about the orgs goals. Creating a website with input from clients through several iterations can take months. '''Q. How to explore what your org needs in design and development?''' A. DA uses an extensive questionnaire (can provide on request) '''Q. Guidelines for doing design yourself?''' A.Org shoud not need to hire someone to do content updates. use standard CMS such as WordPress Lynda.com is a good resource for education '''Q. Resources for beginer designs.''' A. WordPress theme library, code for instructions. Key issue is consistency between pages, materials elements of typographicstyle (book) '''Did not get to talk about...''' * communicationbetween clientand designers '''Q.how many wireframes? * Each page?'''

Always on, everywhere. As of June, 91% of US Adults carry a cell phone. * 2/3 of which are smart phones, 1/3 of which are 'dumb' phones * Phone communication can be broken down into Voice, Text, and Data (Apps and Web) * Voice and text are available on even the most basic phone, the primary limitations lie in the service plan of the end-user, and whether or not they have a limited amount of, or opted out of entirely, sending and receiving calls and/or text messages ===Voice=== * Traditional phone communication, person-to-person conversation '''Things to consider:''' * network coverage (if signal is weak the call quality will suffer or the call will drop altogether), * if outside of network coverage the call will not be received, service (i.e 'minutes', 'roaming') charges and distance, * calls are live (no record of call unless it was recorded, or notes were taken) and can be easily missed, * calls must be scheduled to when both people are available at the same time, * only capable of one-to-one/party calls, but very resource intensive. '''Benefits:''' * More personal, and allows for natural feedback and tone. ===Text - Short Message Service (SMS)=== '''Things to consider:''' * Must be opt-in and provide obvious way to opt-out at any time, * limited to 160 characters (though if more is required, it can be broken into multiple messages [i.e. include 'Message 1/2'], but this should only be used if absolutely necessary), * in the US, people are charged to both send and receive messages (but not the rest of the world), * different carriers may have policies regarding international texting '''Benefits:''' * Inexpensive, * people will always read a text message when received (Don't abuse it! Make it as concise and beneficial to their interests as possible), * "Store-and-forward" (if a person is out of coverage, the message will be received as soon as it is possible), * Does not require strong or consistent cellphone coverage, * both people will have a record, * highly scalable, * allows one-to-many communication of important information, * can be automated to auto-reply, * use key words to collect or provide information, * create user groups, and * more advance web-interaction. ===Automated services=== * Many tools are available that do essentially the same thing with varying costs, scalability, requirements, setup, and maintenance * '''FrontlineSMS''' ** can use basic phone (and it's cell service) and laptop (no internet required) to send and receive messages and can be set up to automate services using keywords. * '''Frontline SMS for Android''' ** The same service ported to be Android-native, meaning all that is required is a phone running Android and cell service (However, this project is out of development and may develop bugs, but in experience it was fairly reliable) * '''TeleRivet''' ** Web and Mobile-web based, it can be set up on a computer (with internet) and run from a phone with both cellular coverage and a ===Example:=== * Jordan used an automated service to record and map event attendance as a way to demonstrate, * also used at demonstration to measure commitment of attendees to easily include in future news and updates 251a0f17754e7fcdb9659a76306d6b815fb49d97 0 53 106 105 2015-04-17T22:05:20Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki * Drawing while note-taking allows much richer information to be conveyed than plain text. * It helps a lot to not stress over the quality, but just keep the pen moving at all times and it will become fluid. * Dynamically creating symbols for abstract concepts ** (Kristine's 'data' was an abstract structured grid, while 'cultural connections' took the form of almost jazz-like composition, and she combined the two to convey her organization's goals) * Abby Van Muijen at UC Berkeley 88224fa38fe3389a50c63bf909fbd71eadc7d749 0 54 108 107 2015-04-17T22:05:20Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki facilitated by Laura Bernasconi ==Tips== * Try not to sit in one place for more than an hour at a time (at the very most) without getting up and moving around or stretching. * Sit with feet flat on the floor and feel the energy from the earth. * In this relaxed seated position, close your eyes and feel a wave of relaxation coming from the tips of your toes to the top of your head. * Take time to breathe and check in with yourself. * From a hunched position, breathe yourself up to good posture; don't try to force it by pushing your shoulders back, which is as bad as hunching. * Gently tap areas of tension. * If you frequently notice your hands and feet are cold even when the rest of your body is warm, try adding fresh ginger and cayenne to your diet. This will also be helped by the exercises below. ==Feeling your chi== * Rub your palms together quickly with your wrists near your torso. * Fingers can be intertwined or pushed away from each other. * After you've rubbed them together for some time, pull them apart and feel the magnetic pull of the chi bringing your hands back together. * Now touch, rub, or tap areas of pain or tension to send healing energy there. ==Rubbing your ears== * In Chinese acupuncture and acupressure, all parts of the body can be reached through the ear. * After focusing chi in your hands with the exercise above, gently pinch and tug your ear lobes with your thumb and forefinger. * Pull your ears straight out away from your head. * Rub the area of the fold behind your ears (the part your parents told you to wash) ==Rubbing your stomach== * First focus energy in your hands using the exercise above. * Use one hand or both (one on top of the other) and rub in a circular, clockwise motion. * This follows the direction of the large intestine and will aid in digestion. ==Rubbing your feet== * Again, rub your hands together first and feel your chi. * Rub in the direction from your ankle to the tips of your toes. * Shake off the bad energy from the tips of your fingers. * Rub between your toes as well. * Notice the instant different in color between your feet after you rub the first foot. 8a40dc27c53a7dc23ab47caee2ddad29f0953f64 0 55 110 109 2015-04-17T22:05:20Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki ==Google Analytics== ===Who was there?=== * David Dexter – Calif.

This is usually not the best place to start. A website should be about who it's for and what it's trying to communicate.'' Do some reconnaissance and brainstorming about these questions - what will the typical user do when they come to the website; what should my org/business need to communicate Determine for each audience what they're coming for, and make sure your website first gives them what they want, and then ask them for what you need from them As part of this process, create a "persona" - write a profile for the typical audience member, what's their name, where do they work, etc. ;Question - how do you prioritize the different audience members coming to your website? For example, some people want to see detailed 20 page reports, vs someone who's just checking out the website for the first time * Create a list of goals and ensure that they are matched to the needs of your audience. * Think about the relative likelihood that each audience segment will actually come to the website * Is there a way of going from a Flash website to another technology, that doesn't require starting from scratch? It's doubtful and you're better served in the long run to start from scratch. * Highly recommended that you use some kind of, preferably open source, CMS - there are several out there, the 3 biggest are # Joomla, # Drupal and # WordPress. '''Run down on these 3:''' #Wordpress: People find the interface relatively easy to use; developers have built it in a way that it's much harder to "break the site" on your own. #*WP tends to have a large number of plug-ins/themes that are free and paid, which you can experiment with, without having to pay anyone else. When you do this, find an advisor or consultant who can review your choices and help you evaluate the effectiveness of using these themes. #*Check out Wordpress.com - it's a hosted service that keeps your site online for you. #Drupal: Folks say that it has a steeper learning curve, also for the developers who are putting it together. (Jack uses WordPress for her blog; it's very good for a list of content with categories; when there have to be lots of different types of content with many fields, then Drupal is easier in those circumstances) #* Check out DrupalGardens.com #Joomla: Design Action Collective has some experience in this. It's probably the one that's least popular. #* Angela had the experience that doing edits was pretty hard. * Find a trusted advisor who can help you evaluate the different developer or developer firms. *There are clear migration paths from places like Wordpress.com and DrupalGardens.com so that you can pick up your site and move. '''To map out where the costs are:''' # Domain registration # Hosting - this is just storage # Website development - this usually comes bundled along with the first two, or you can install it yourself. ;Question - is it okay to build two different websites, because one is already on a hosting provider and you don't want to move it elsewhere? * One thing to consider is that if you have two different websites, then one of them will probably not show up on Google's search results which could be a problem for you if people use Google to find your site. ;Question - can Wordpress be used for mobile websites? * Any of these systems can be used to build mobile websites. How it actually looks on a mobile device depends on how they have been designed. * The default themes on Wordpress.com is pretty good for viewing on mobile devices. Drupal themes tend to be harder to get to look good on multiple devices. * The word used to describe designs that look good on all types of devices is "responsive" - a "responsive" design means that the same website look good everywhere, and you don't have to build a separate website for mobile devices. ==Let's talk about content.== * It's easy to get someone to design and develop a website but you still have to provide content for your site. Thinking about that beforehand will help you understand what the design of the website should look like. It will help the developers to optimize the site for what they need to do, so: # create sketches and descriptions of where things will be on your site; # find images and videos you want to use that you want to provide to your users. # make sure there's enough content for designers and developers to fill in to the site as they build it # think about what you have real capacity to do - for example, blogs tend to be a very common feature but they also tend to not get used - someone has to update the blog. Think about how important the content is for your organization. * Building in iterative ways is useful - pay to build a few features and then extend the feature set from there. ;Question - can you do user permissions - say, some people can only manage blogs, manage events etc.? * The more granular this gets, the more help you'll need from developers. Drupal's permissioning models are more robust and full-featured - you can have people allowed to add posts but not events and vice-versa, etc. ;Question - if I write a blog post on Wordpress, who sees it and how do people find it? * You can distribute it via your own network on Facebook and other social networks * Figure out what keywords you want to add to your post, especially to your title, that you want people to search for to find your website. * Put your URL everywhere - on your marketing tools, on your business cards, send emails to friends ==Costs== * Jack's firm usually quotes from $5,000 to $15,000 for their typical clients - this includes a process of understanding the client's needs, design and development. * In general, you shouldn't have to pay anyone to update the website after it's built. Make sure that you own everything - the passwords and accounts, the domain name registration, and the storage. It should be possible for the client to lock the developer out, but never possible for it to be the other way round. ==Security and Bug Fixes== * The fewer customizations you've created, the easier that updates can be. ;Question - what are the core skills needed for Wordpress website upkeep? * In Wordpress, there's a way to add new content like a blog post - it's possible to use WordPress pretty easily if you know how to use Microsoft Word - the interface has similar icons that you can use to edit easily without having to know HTML. ;Question - how do you understand that the website is "in the cloud"? * It mostly means that they are not saved on your computer. ;Question - what's GoDaddy? * It's a domain hosting company - they rent out space and a domain name to you.

You say, Yes, and compress. *Helps you avoid hitting your cap on whatever online video host you use. *'''Two sites: YouTube and Vimeo.''' *Manny likes Vimeo more because it offers a simpler, cleaner look and less advertising. **Vimeo offers free account and paid account. Free account limits you to 4GB per month; paid is capped at 50GB per month. **Another compression option is to reduce the file size when you export. **Vimeo also has channels, playlists, and themes. **Offers a nice clean page for your organization. **Takes one day to be able to access the video you just uploaded. **Vimeo has a music library available, some of which is free, some of which is paid. You can use it for your videos. *VideoBlocks provides music for videos as well that are free of copyright issues. ===Vidoe components:=== *Credits *Supporters and funders *Signage, i.e., information for a contact, logos, etc. ===Toolkit:=== *Manny keeps a file on each supporter, including logo, etc. Ask for highest quality logo image. ===Post on site:=== *this is not where the work ends. ===Video sharing:=== *Film festival *Vimeo account '''''Q:''''' How do you drive traffic to the video? *Vi uses YouTube b/c it is more popular. *Casey includes the URL to the video when he gives presentations to youth. The icebreaker for meetings is to have everyone upload the video to their websites, FB pages, share it with their family, etc. It is effective to have a message, “I worked on this. Please visit it.” *David also adds meta tags. *'''Meta Tags''': some argue they are obsolete, but he thinks they are still useful. He adds meta tags that include, for example, the name of the organization, the name of the supporters, thematic words, etc. *Organizational help: Some organizations have a statewide or national reach. **Manny had the national CEO add a link to the video and local website in an e-mail blast. **Send it to your donors to help them share with their contacts more information about how they are supporting a worthy cause. *Another note on quality video: It is better to have good audio than video. Invest in a good microphone. ===Copyright infringement:=== * Garage band (Mac) is royalty free. **You can use music available on Vimeo music source. *Creativecommons.org also has sound and music. *VideoBlocks also has sound effects. *AudioJungle.com has additional audio that you can use. *RYSE has its own audio production studio that comes from the Beat Studio. **RYSE has a beat instructor. They record every week. *Back to '''generating video content through contests''': *Good to be clear about the components that must be there and the rules for entry, i.e., must have logos, no copyrighted material, etc. *Good to provide a theme. Can be between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. Can compile them all in one place to share. Can create multiple categories, i.e., most viewed, most shared, top vote getter, etc. '''Remember, KISS, Keep it short and simple.''' *E.g., PSA created for the L.A.

Before you begin shooting, you have to have a clear picture of what you want to produce. 3-5 minutes (under 5 minutes) is the ideal length for keeping people's attention. Emotion is a powerful element -- success is the most engaging emotion. You and your team should spend a lot of time in pre-production and planning, but the actual production should be straightforward so you don’t.

Super short. We were drawing. There were folks in the group who took pictures of some of the illustrations that could be useful. How to make things more memorable, make it stick. By using images in note-taking and documenting stories, it makes it stick and makes the story more memorable. It's a good practice to get over the creative block and allow yourself to draw continuously, draft, and make mistakes. It's a process.

David from CPEHN: * Just redid our website * We had a website built in 2003 with a custom content management system, developed by that developer; that person left, she was the only one that could fix the CMS, so it was getting old statle and buggy; only worked in in IE6 or god knows what. * That's the danger with a custom site--the people who built it will leave, you'll be left in the lurch. Went with an open source platform, Drupal or WordPress, so they could bring in someone else to work with it if their original developer bailed. * Wanted a more dynamic site. * Met with Aspiration and Gunner; they helped CPEHN with the process. * Redoing the website is in addition to your usual work, need to fit it in. Wanted to do the process well but do it efficiently. * Aspiration helped them figure out an RFP, make sure CPEHN knew what they wanted, make sure the developer had all the info they needed from the start. * First step: identify your constituents. ** Example: teens who participate in drop-in program, donors who come to the site, the community. Primary audiences: donors, funders, local community. The youth might eventually use the website too, though probably through Facebook or Twitter. * Each audience might use the site in very different ways, but you want a site that speaks to and appeals to all audiences. * CPEHN broke down who's coming to the website, who they want to come, how they want them to use it. ** Primary audience: community-based health organizations working with people of color; donors and funders; people looking for data and resources. * They had to prioritize the hierarchy of different audiences. Show what you do, target your primary audience, hopefully other audiences (esp donors and funders) will get something out of it. * Next step: user stories. How are people using the site? How do you want them to use the site? ** Advocates are coming from advocacy information. Want to get them info on ongoing legislation, have it be searchable by county. ** Write out what you want people to do on your site, processes for how they do it. ** Those user stories are transformed into the RFP. You don't have to think about the "how," that's the developer's job; your responsibility is to figure out what you want. ** The more that you can provide up front about what you want the site to do and who it should serve, the better. ** Staff should also be included in user stories; what does the staff want to be able to do with the site, and how? E.g. "Enter in all policy info, tag it so it can be searched by category." ** Try to only use active verbs in your user stories! Focus on the user doing things on the website. * What's the value your site gives to people? What makes them want to come back to your website for the third time? Become a trusted source of information. * If it's a static page, they're not gonna come back. How do you get folks to return, make the site valuable to them? * CPEHN can share the RFP they came up with after going through this process. * Had a couple of conversations with Gunner; transferred all the user stories and priorities into an RFP. * You don't have to decide on Drupal or WordPress ahead of time; the developers will tell you what they work with and how they see themselves developing what you need on their system. * (Discussion of platforms like Squarespace or Google Sites, different hosting options, ongoing support and maintenance for sites built in Drupal and WordPress.) * Aspiration folks are down to help organizations make good choices! They can help you evaluate proposals that people are submitting and tell you if you're getting ripped off or not, give you lists of people that are "righteous." * You figure out all the stuff above and put it into an RFP; developers send proposals back describing how they'll approach the project. * CPEHN also sent out an email to their whole list saying they were creating a new website and asking for help; got some super-advocates, a group of 10 or so folks to provide feedback on the website, how they use the site. Maybe one person for each different audience or user story that you identified. * Keep staff involve, you want their buy-in for the new site. * Responsiveness is important! Make sure that's from your RFP. * Get your developers to provide training and/or documentation on your site. 70c25f41c45323fba5e87c1b67621d2db89c0c67 0 72 144 143 2015-04-17T23:16:52Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki Online Communications w/ Jessica Participant Introductions: Magik: Asking for feedback on how to grow project through online promotion Gilda: Looking for organize a calendar for project organizing Tanya: Current social media platform management – organizing current campaigns Jessica: Group leader: wants to have other activities for online communication Tyesha: Communications coordinator wants to be aware of tools that make work effective Javier: Communications manager with aspirations Lisa: Looking for improve current communications Writing: Remember that online social platforms were created for person-to-person interaction how do we push interaction that target a larger audience 5 processes for high impact online communication Strategy on what you want to accomplish and the tools to use so that you reach your target audience - knowing target audience - different channels/tools to reach - plan arc of timeline for message sharing - engaging the audience - how are you measuring success 1.

Aware and conscious when developing. What is accessibility? Defining and knowing solutions. Accessibility of information between departments - best practice for sharing information Drawn to projects that need to consider infrastructure limitations, physical limitations, tech limitations, language limitations Bandwidth accessibility, slow connection and accessibility. Want to start building what to think about and what we aren't thinking about. Maintaining and sharing information and using tools, how do we make sure information is available and accessible. Comparability and data portability. Build list of all things accessibility could mean WHAT IS ACCESSIBILITY? Physical & Cognitive ability Bandwidth Power Access to technology (computers, phones, mail) Access to internet Tech literacy Language and Culture Age Data portability / ownership Compatibility Break it down in considerations of delivery systems / medium / content / coding Document solutions: Physical & cognitive Content Design Development Hardware -Color & contrast -Sizing & rescale; justified text easier for (dyslexia) -Slide shows / images - has to be slow -Screen reader -Checklist (coding) http://a11yproject.com/checklist.html Resource-constrained environment 1. Slow (low bandwidth) - lots of connections can be good 2. Latency (small tube) - lots of connections can be problem Understand users and think of solutions accordingly in terms of: power, physical access to computers/phone/tech access to internet. - have to build capacity to use technology - touch - kiosks - easy print - how much power does site use? - gender differences in tech use - social power vs. watts - intermittent electricity - what is hardware environment Technical literacy - symbols - standard and related to culture and language - X usually means no Circle means ok - test with real diversity - test early - watch people - provide with good CMS so can interact with their site and it's intuitive, like wordpress and make sure interface is friendly and easy to use without code. Visual for backend users - don't make people write code - don't hard code - self-document - comments and feedback - before you start engage with stakeholders - visual interface Language/culture/age - Multilingual- switch language buttons - clear how to change language (ex. LA Metro) - Google translate has got a lot better, depends on which language are "compatible" - translate back again and see what you get - no matter how many languages, not going to cover every language in LA, how to serve people you will inevitably not serve best - breathing in one language could be smoking in another - some universal - arrows, circles, exes - colors have different meanings - cell phone as main form of gathering information - what direction text read - right to left; left to right; up and down - sports references - using cultural references can be restrictive - test with audience Data Portability -comparability - security - ownership - privacy - can I get my data back out? - interoperability - export - remove / delete / really delete - many department platforms - sales force,zoho, google - open-source vs open data - web scraping - backing up - technology policies - tool to meet common needs - management - viewing vs. using information - data policy vs. tool Anything additional to share: Someone at Sacramento Techfest developed SMS for deaf / blind code touch a letter and get morse code vibration ( SMS haptic morse code) -flexsy f6ca6a32c54af54a3d45c97c673e65a26647e5c6 0 74 148 147 2015-04-17T23:16:53Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki Security for nonprofits Gunner 1. How to educate people on basic security technology. 2. Users don't have a sense of what information is sensative. 3. Don't know enough about it. Work with a lot of youth. 4. Build websites and don't know what information is vulnerable. Facilitate technical gatherings. Facilitate human rights technology gatherings. Security, privacy, documentation, communication all fall under human rights tech. It is a pervasive topic and few people have a frame for talking about it. Constructive set of frames besides fearmongering. Tor allows you to browse the web anonymously. Internet doesn't know where that request came from. Two crises, people on NGO side don't speak any of this. And tech folks are so in the weeds, they have no language for talking with the NGO's. They are not doing it in benevolent ways. We're trying to bust open the market for security training. Not enough system administrators and security mentors. Security auditing; not enough auditors. We're trying to stay grounded in the nonprofit needs. Has to be relevant to attendees at CA Tech Fest. It's not about the technology. Two other bigger factors in thinking through security for organizations: human factor (organizational culture and norms) and individual factor. I feel bad for dentists, they tell everyone to floss and such a few percent of people floss. Security falls into that same category; know they should do it but don't do it. Have to start from organizational culture. Raise commitment to security through accountability. Explain to people how their bad practices are going to get other people hurt. Multiple nonprofits in the central valley who have put personal data on undocumented folks in Google Docs. Unethical protocol to put personal information in a corporate store. Nobody thinks that's private data anymore. Think before you put data in the cloud. Convey accountability. Dialog; just start them talking about it. Process. Technology needs to be updated. If you as an organization need someone to keep an eye on security bugs and someone owns updating. Process for addressing it. Anything else like firewalls are worthless. Staying ahead of security is impossible. Minimize and reduce risk with processes. Backup. Astounding to us how few nonprofits have backup. Backup checklist. If your site does get compromised, how are you going to restore it? Wordpress allows you to export the entire site and then redeploy it relatively easily. Try to get people to think about these processes. Another example is getting people to think about laptops and phones when they leave the office. At Aspiration, phones should have no organizational information on it. No emails. Police can pull all information in ten seconds to a police drive. Heaven forbid you're organizing a protest across state lines. Think about the organizational process that sets organizational norms around encrypting phones, passwords on phones, etc. A lot of people have local copies of their entire server. Processes don't mean everyone is going to follow them, but it does start people thinking about norms and practices. Encrypted hard drive when shut down is about as close to a brick as you're going to get. If it's encrypted, all sorts of interesting law kicks that makes it harder for them to access that information. Tools. Not an easy solution. But good to think about best practices. Tor broswer; download and install on any computer. Learn how to use it. Learn when it works and when it doesn't. We all know we're being studyied for our search results. Becoming a smarter activists, do all of your searching in Tor browser. You don't want to practice the tools you need in crisis when you're in crisis. You want to know how to use it before then. Off the Record Messaging (OTR). I can use all the evil corporate tools and the message is scrambled when going through the corporate infrastructure. Encrypt email. Not easy, but doable. Ultimate act of solidarity. Start sending encrypted email all the time. You can't just use encryption for suspicious activity. Start with the human factors and org factors, start with policies, and then incrementally adopt the tools. Most telling thing about Snowden is that all end points are compromised. Don't ever make the mistake of thinking that anything you do is secure. Keep the cost of surveilling higher by encrypting. Yahoo refuses to encrypt web traffic by default. Google to their credit tries to encrypt things. Idea that we are trying to keep the cost of surveillance high, that is the ultimate thing we as activists. Firefox phone aspires to have privacy baked into it with a new operating system. User centric paradymn, not a corporate centric paradym. So everything is encrypted; which doesn't make it secure, but makes it harder to access. Apps are one of the biggest mistakes activists have made. Wrote client software back in the day. Hotmail was the first webscale software as a service. Along comes Apple and the iTunes store and we went two or three giant steps back. Rather than getting our functionality through the browser, we have to get Apple's approval to run a piece of software from their store? Apple iTunes store bans all free and open source software. Apps validate a corporate control paradymn of asking the man for permission to put code on your machine and apps then spy on you. If at all possible, do everything through browser based web. Apps require permission to use audio, and other hardware. Nathan Freedas wrote Orbot. Anonymity on the phone is an unsolved problem. Two complete operating systems on a phone. Baseband layer on the phone, complete separate microprocessor, etc. completely controllable. Sell out move to own an iPhone. Have to be able to take the battery out. Security in NGO's. Most critical piece of data the NSA wants: social graph. All the places were you have an ID and someone else has an ID is more uniquely identifying than your fingerprint. If you get off the grid and then come back, you only have to make 2 phone calls to be identified: your mom and your best friend. Nobody else would call those two people. In a pool of 16,000 people, it only took 4 pings to figure out who you were based on your movement. Apps magnify risk exposure. Guardian Project: most important project. Social justice analysis: service to causes. Suppose you are filming a human rights violation, you can film it, before you upload it to YouTube, you can tell it who to blurr out. So you can blur out everyone except for the authority figures. They made Obscuracam core functionality in YouTube. They're solving real world use cases. What we need to be humble to: which of us has data that is dangerous to our allies. We can't know the permutative implications of how our data is being used. HTTPS Everywhere: defaults to encrypted version of website if it exists. Act of solidarity to have SSl and force encryption on your site. Assume your site is compromised. Riseup deletes server logs after 3 minutes. No subpoenable data. And encrypted servers. Piwick stores the analytics data locally. Websites are basically a public place. Don't have a lot of supporter data. Put supporter data on a separate server from your CMS. Do you have the financial resouces to do that? Yeah, you should. Activists feel guilt if they do anything proactive. Schneier analysis doesn't sell. Organic movement got people to worry in the 1970's about what we're putting into the body. Got people to think not just about what was going into their body, but where it was coming from. Want people to have a similar self awareness about security. Kind of like dietary planning; I'm going to eat what I can find next week when I'm hungry. Get them the general rules they need to be secure themselves. Security analysis is always being done in a way that is not empowering. Shrinking the attack surface is a win. Problem with this strategy is surveillance will cost more and it will get more money, but we can't let them have this information without a fight. For the organizations dealing with vulnerable populations, do you really need that data? Can you use a QR code? Can they keep their personal information on their phone? Assume every bite on your web server is public data. There are so many known exploits. To presume fundraising is a justification for collecting so much data, is wrong. I can tell you 5 domains that if taken offline, progressive movement would be halted. If you're an idiot if you don't have a script that gets a local copy of your supporter data once a week. Copying an encrypted blob to Amazon. Much better to use YouTube because the government is not going to shut down Flickr unless they really have to because people use these services to look at cute cats. Nobody plans for plan B let alone plan C. More and more people are using Salesforce and they will screw nonprofits over so quickly when the time comes. Have to have a plan for when they take that offline. Wish there was a timelapse showing the consequences of having shared all these photos and things about themselves since they were young. If they were just posting photos of themselves that'd be one thing. You messing up someone else's future. Unsolved: attorney client privledge. At the point that you are using Gmail, third party priciple says your attorney client privledge is subverted. When you put stuff on Google Apps, they can change the terms at any point and you give them permission to read all your stuff. Imagine Raytheon buys Google. Laws for search and seziure tends to have state level implications. No proper nounds in sensative emails. Assume everything you communicate electronically is public record. A lot like talking about safe sex in the 80's.

People are not actively using the database. Transitioning to a database. Excel doesn't seem manageable anymore. How to have happy clients and developers is still a bit of a mystery. Did project management pretty poorly; hard to stay within budget. Seen many projects hit predictable pitfalls. Things to watch out for or how to do it right? Project managers know what needs to happen, when, who needs to do something. Someone needs to own the process, but that person can be different than the people doing the work that moves the project forward. On schedule, on budget, on function. If you try to add more features, it's going to cost more. 1. Projects come in late 2. Don't do what they are supposed do 3. All budgets bust Hard to estimate exactly what things are going to cost before you dig into the work. When you get quote, ask developers what does that quote mean, what's likely to change it? Biggest anti-patterns: 1. Decision making process fails People we were talking to were really happy, but then their ED was not happy. ED clearly needed to be part of the decision making process. Stakeholders who needed to be involved at all times were not. Can also go in the oppposite side of the spectrum, where the entire staff is arguing about all the details down to the button colors. In your organization, figure out who the stakeholders are that need to be involved. So there aren't these surprises down the road. Choosing points of contact can be helpful. But the point of contact has to know who they need to get approval from before responding. 2. Everything is as important as everything else We list out all the features. Clients have to put a number of what to work on first. If we ran out of budget, what can drop off. If nothing can drop off, make sure you have unlimited resources. As they see the timeline, budget, invoices, etc. can compare it to this list and reprioritize along the way. When you try to do everything all at once, money gets spent all at once. Back in the day, migrations weren't a thing. Now you have migration. When you get your content out of your current site and put it into your new site, the structure is not exactly the same. There have to be transformations. If you want an automated content migration, expect that to be a big line item. Can take a lot of trial and error. Design and development disconnect. If you hire a designer who is not doing the develpment, make sure those people are talking. Make sure designers know how to design for the web. Design can cost different amounts and can imply functionality in their design. Project slowdown. Organizations are super busy, doing amazing work, their mission is more important than their website. To meet their mission they have to put their breaks on the tech project. The longer you put the breaks on a project, the most expensive it gets to keep it going or pick it back up. Try to put the breaks on it in an orderly way. Ask the developers how we can take a break in the least damaging way. -- Sarah Often take clients who are very injured by past vendor relationships. We don't make any guarantees up front and don't give a quote. Try to engage people in two week chunks. Will have a discovery workshop to figure out who are the stakeholders. On day one, we have our kickoff meeting with developer and client. Write out stickynotes of all the features we want to build. You always have epics like "I want a blog." And break those bigger tasks into specific individual tasks. Developers make a rough estimate of how difficult something is. Come back and the client does the prioritization or ordering. Developers just start at the top and work down the list. Start delivering immediately. Goes through internal testing first. Client gets best value if they are actively testing. Keep moving tickets through this system. 15 minute check in each morning with the client. Demo at the end of the two week block. Retrospective at the end: what went well, what didn't go well. Bill every two weeks. You can take it or leave it. You can say, this is great, we're done here. Or you can start a new 2 weeks. How do nonprofits feel about this? Works for some nonprofits. Nonprofit point person really has to own it. Clients feel a lot of ownership over. A lot of nonprofits won't start, though, if they can't get board approval for an estimate. We focus our estimates on the goals rather than features. Ask clients not to hide your budget. Compare quotes from different vendors. Estimate based on their wishlist. Agile is about dealing with the tradeoffs in the moment. Phases and minimum viable products are also key strategies. 5bdda8039d99f2db3bcbb1bd60c3d99758dc03ef 0 79 158 157 2015-04-17T23:20:21Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki Presenter: Dorion * Dorion has an easy to use format to create mobile apps, which started with Korean Churches. * This mobile web platform. ==How can we use mobile apps to empower social change?== '''Joevonte:''' Wants to develop for mobile app for free that will give youth opportunity to make reports against law enforcement.

They run a multi site installation Wordpress .org you can buy space on a server go daddy or dreamhost that let install wordpress from the channel Managed hosting: you pay a little bit more a month and you get optimized servers for wordpress. They take care of security holes and lock down other areas. If you can find extra money to get managed hosting, Examples: WP-engine Pressable Pantheon palely - it will probably save you money in the long run. There can also be a performance benefit. They often offer managed backups. Something else you get with a managed host if a staging environment where you can test things like plugins out before you implement it on the live site. If you are migrating from com to org you should export your content throughout he wp export function, get a temp url and create a new wordpress install on the new server with the temp url and build the new site there. Then point the url to the new server. Different options for custom themes. You can do something totally custom which can be good cause you can get what you want, but it can be bad cause if your developer is coding in a super customized way other developers main not be able to come in help you later. So make sure that your developer is using well established industry standard themes or frame works Woo themes, twitter bootstrap Theme forest and downloading custom themes: Think about whether is meets your needs and will be meet your needs in the future. If you want to change something simple it can often take a very long time to change a complicated bloated theme. However, if the theme is more simply, elegantly written it can be much easer to change to meet your needs. So have someone take a look at the code. however if you see a theme you like use it wrap-bootstrap is a general website themes. Just html and css themes. You can just load them up on wordpress , but it can be much less expensive to take a template like that and make it work for your wordpress site. Look for a template that fits your content.

How can we use it better? - What is the best way to use mobile for our projects? - Who should we target using SMS messaging? - What are the most effective kinds of things to share? - Never used SMS to reach out to our audiences, but we want to try it, particularly for monolingual Spanish speakers? - What does it require in terms of resources and budget? - Can we use it to target doners? Various SMS services: - Revolution messaging --- hosting --- shared shortcode (having your own is really expensive) --- reasonably priced - Mobile commons --- really big one --- great product, very expensive - Frontline --- software you can run yourself off a laptop with a tethered phone or GSM modem --- developed primarily for data collection work in Africa --- can be an inexpensive way to get started, you can use this and port to a different service later - Telerivet, web interface --- sending out messages at demonstrations --- getting feedback from guests at an event --- $30/month for 5000 messages / day and 10,000 contacts --- have to use your personal phone # or subscribe through a number through them | $0.01 per message inbound and outbound - Mozeo --- inexpensive - SMS Blast --- good for quick, one off messages It’s a good idea to connect this services with an internet SMS number that lets you send and receive SMS over the internet APIs to build your own system - Troppo, free to develop - Twillio - Clickitel, expensive but flexible, has a lot of foreign shortcodes Shortcodes - a five digit code that sends messages to you - usually use a shared code, with a keyword to route the message - costs something like $10,000 to set up your own shortcode - really helpful for signs and radio adds - much easier to remember Case Study: Presente - can text to collect a phone number and collect a list of phone numbers - then reply with “Text your email and zip to join” - import into CRM system to followup by email - can be challenging to differentiate messaging for SMS and emails - can use SMS to collect donations, but you have to have your own shortcode - you could also text out a link that goes to a mobile optimized web page that collects donations, but requires a smartphone with data plan CRM Integration - build your own custom - sometimes can export a csv file and then import it into a CRM - some CRMs have SMS integration, but usually with only with one provider Other projects - communicating with doctors for medical advice - international development: mobile messages system for women who have stores in a market (like a replacement for email, in a community that didn’t have email) Tips - need to be able to parse the information in some way--if you collect multiple pieces of information, it’s all in one message - using delimiters (like comma separated information) doesn’t work very well-9 out of 10 people will mess that up - keep it simple, collect one or two pieces of information - register a lot of different spellings of your keyword, to account for misspellings - can use a different keyword to specify language preference (Spanish vs. English, for example) - short bursts of messages are better than longer messages with multiple/complicated asks - make sure you give people a first message with an opt-out option Other tools - vojo.co --- mobile mapping and storytelling system --- can do MMS --- mobile blogs sent over SMS - WhatsApp - Snapchat - cel.ly --- social networking over SMS - mailchimp --- gather for collecting data at events (a little bit expensive) Budget - Telerivet recommended as a relatively low cost service - Frontline is virtually free, and a good way to get started at very low cost Other uses for mobile - walking tours, have a number that you call from each location with a recorded message - “people’s Skype” built for occupy--call a number and use multiple crowd members phones to broadcast a message - OPD sends out alerts, and you can text back a number, which the OPD will then send the same message to them Research on teen use - Pew Internet Research, a number of years ago, did some research what mobile use is higher in Latino communities, compared to white communities - Anecdotal evidence says that current teens use mobile and texting more than ever before, but no hard research numbers ussd - a low level mobile system, like sms, for messaging - used in a lot of other places in the world to collect multiple points of information - uses one connection for multiple messages, rather than several individual messages Callback systems - You text to the shortcode, and then it calls you back - Example use is that user is called back, given a recorded message with talking points, and then connected to their congress person to talk about a particular issue - EFF and The Day We Fight Back have used this - The Day We Fight Back has an open source platform they built on Twillio that you can use, but you have to host it baa71bcbbff897ff18a49e27884e14aa4376d7e8 0 88 176 175 2015-04-17T23:28:10Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki Facilitators: Ruth & william General Notes First step is concept (coming up with the idea).

Data in motion, ie. while being transferred/downloaded. assume that all communication is being recorded forever. much of it stored and analyzed later. so encryption and learning to encrypt is a statement of movement solidarity - choosing not to encrypt is a policy and political decision that affects others. encryption raises the cost of surveillance. * email - use ssl & pgp * web - https everywhere tries to promote http up if possible. even if you don't feel you're serving risky content, you don't know who's looking at your site. could be someone in a country where what you're doing is illegal, and they can be spied on if unencrypted. * IM - off-the-record messaging (OTR), encrypts your communicatoins even if you're talking through google or yahoo or whoever. 2. Data at rest: stuff that's stored on any of your media, on all your devices, in your pocket and in the cloud. what can happen? * lose it * stolen (prolly just for profit) * seized by law enforcement. if you're arrested, they pop your iphone into their dock and it sucks every bit of info off it. illegal search and seizure, but they're still doing it. need to encrypt your data so that someone accessing it still can't read it. * if in the cloud, you just have no idea what kind of access someone might get. but look for encryption capabilities on your cloud there. but security of your data is also about choosing your provider, someone that cares and will fight to protect your data, not just roll over to a subpoena. 3. Operational security: put passwords on everything, change them often, make them strong. also policies on what data leaves the office. 4. Physical security: you can do everything else right, but if the door's unlocked, or don't change locks after losing disgruntled employee, or you don't know where your backups are or they're unencrypted, the rest is for nought. ==how to actually move over to encryption?== * back up, back up, back up * try linuxmint... and it's non-trivial, but good strategy is for one brave committed soul to try it out, use two laptops for a while, and make the final switch when ready * aspiration has a linuxmint laptop loaner program for this purpose * the first thing that happens on power up, before anything boots, is your password to the encrypted volume. from there you're just using it the same as always. crossing borders is a critical danger point for security - needs lots of self education and precaution. what type of data are surveillers most interested in? social graphing. your communications network profile identifies you as uniquely as anything else in the world short of DNA. LEAP: leap.se Leap Encrypted Activist Platform: trying to hide the social graphi inside of encryption, ie. hiding even whom you're talking to (normally visible even if contents are encrypted) ==on specific questions:== * mobile app with big data: make sure security concerns are part of the conversation from the start. makes it work much better, and be much cheaper. data minimilism - only collect what you actually need. and think about sunsetting data after no longer needed, and anonymizing any data you can. * what is safe to download? nothing. operate from a frame of distrust. every piece of software you install increases your vulnerability. if you want to be scared, look up fin fisher on wikipedia. on the other hand, citizen lab out of toronto is studying and documenting the evil bastards. and on the bad side again, bluecoat routers. a lot of games are "surveillance apps", ie. for advertising, not law enforcement. * your phone has a whole nother back-end OS on the radio chip that you can't touch * top concerns: unpatched CMSes and unpatched everything. so #1 keep everything current. #2 is just throwing all your data up on random corporate clouds who do not care about you, and are in fact tied to government. can get the data, but also can ust block your access to it. what about encrypted voice? skype is evil, always has been but even more now that it's inside microsoft. in skype chats, any link you put to anything online will be opened and downloaded by micorosoft. promising new thing coming out, jitsy, runs in a browser but only in chrome, which is spyware. 29cc7ccc50aed56e813b10ffcfeaf26f7055e5da 0 94 188 187 2015-04-28T20:37:22Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki Developing Youth Leaders in Technology and Nonprofits Thursday 9/25 – AM Session Moderated by: Katie Roper ==Attending== Mike – Zero Divide Romelia – Youth Together Alberto – Youth Media Team Dan – RYSE Brian – Silicon Valley Council on Nonprofits Raeanne – Quilted Spencer – Community Technology Network ==Key Take-Aways== *Organizations represented in the group were focused on: **Developing and retaining youth leaders in technology **Developing and maintaining apprenticeship programs (particularly Quilted) **Developing intergenerational leadership **Developing internships for youth and pipelines to employment success *Not many schools or programs teach about technology as it relates to non-profits, and there is an especially large gap in education about social justice and technology *Youth in technology-oriented programs have a variety of goals including *Staying in school, moving on to college/university *Employment *Barriers that many youth face include skills, but often are more hindered by a lack of communication skills *They still struggle to identify and seek support to know what they don’t know *Internships can help youth meet goals, but finding the right partners is challenging *Identifying the right partners is key.

General Concepts -Create 3D on 2D plain, and, -Your outline map and video will be composed in a 2 dimensional plain while your look will be designed to be three dimensional. Rule of 3rds -If you divide your frame into thirds, you want your subject to somehow not be in the middle square of the frame but a little off to one side or another or above or below. -This will only make sense if you divide equally a square into 3rds going both directions so you end up with 6 squares. Depth of Field -The focus from the first element to the last frame. Iris of Eye -Opens and closes just like a camera shutter. -Hence all what you need is your human eye. The three sources of footage -A-Roll: dialogue/interview/your primary content -B-Roll: filler, make things look good, and, -Audio/Sound: you will record the sound separately. Three types of shots -Wide -Medium, and, -Close-up. With shots -The first two go on the a-roll, and the third on the b-roll. -Use clap in front of person in order to connect the visual with the audio. 3 parts of production process -Pre-production -Production, and, -Post-production. The key goal is to set yourself up in preproduction so that you get as much material as is possible during production so you have options to make the best video you can during the post production process. Rules of thumb for how much film -For final video of 3-5 minutes, 1 hour of a-roll and 3/4 hour of b-roll. -For final video of 10 minutes, 4 hours of video. Tools You Will Need -A few quality elements, and -Something to take photos like a digital camera. Note1: You can get quality media at a minimal fee by renting for a period of time. Note2: That in planning you need to create a structure for the quality. If the quality is good, it will trump the content. Audio rule of thumb -It's best to record the sound separately. How to organize -Determine what need before do filming -Decide how to name filmed materials so easy to find, and -Give self room for trial and error. You can get quality media for a minimal fee -Create structure for quality. 3 Part Production Process -Pre-production, -Production, and -Post-production. The purpose of the first two stages is to create options that you can work with during post-production. Amanda mentions that there are a number of online tutorials on YouTube. -She recommends that you watch each video once without doing anything else. -she then recommends the second time, to watch while trying to do simultaneously. Softwares one might use -Final Cut Pro, -Premiere, and -iMovieX. During the post-production process -you are encouraged to get up and walk away every 10 minutes or so to get a little perspective, and -try to watch the video as though you are an audience member. General Conclusion -If you organize yourself well, the rest will follow nicely. a4d680ff70443c4da20c242ecef7a96e8af0501e 0 97 194 193 2015-04-28T20:37:22Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki * Use videos as a tool to inform public dialogue. * What are you trying to accomplish?

Learning experiences for readers B. Learning experiences for those collecting stories C. Fundraising strategy D. Can influence political change (hard to do) ==Types of Storytelling== * Interviewing, editing, actively ''curating'' stories * '''User-generated:''' provide a platform for people to submit their own stories. Can have some issues - hard to gather stories, hard to gather cohesive info. Speaking language isn't necessarily ''storytelling'' language. ==Ethics and Policy== * '''Good practice:''' If you curate and edit, go back to original subject/source to share how you edited it, how you want to use it, get final permission. In some cases, you may want to get permission signatures. * Be explicit with source about use of their story * Get written permission to use photo and quotes * Be prepared to show up with forms. Be aware these forms can be off-putting. Make sure it's about protecting the source's words/thoughts ==How to Turn Informal Talks Into Formal Interviews== * Make first contact, build a relationship * Take contact info * Let person(s) know you want to share their story and ''why''. Let them know where their words could appear and how it will be used * Create a list of questions ahead of time. Consider hosting "practice" interviews to get wheels turning ** Ask open-ended questions ** Be a gentle guide for the conversation ** Have follow-up questions to help get and keep people talking on topic <blockquote style="background-color: lightgrey; border: solid thin grey;">'''Exercise''': Involve others in the storytelling process by allowing others to review transcripts of interviews and highlighting what they feel are the most important elements.</blockquote> ==Sharing Stories== Through professional networks, with partners/funders, target press, share stories with other NGOs. ==Look into...== ===PhotoVoice=== Digital storytelling projects. Community-run. Take pics of community, then stitch photos together into a story with audio overlay. Can be themed projects. It's not an app, just a method. Find method on Wikipedia or Google. ===PlaySpent.org=== A game format that educates players on an issue. The issue is poverty.

Solitude approach, in a work sense more of a back and forth than a ‘together’ process Self sufficiency Official definition relates it to energy Extrovert: charged by social interaction, drained by solitude Introvert: charged by solitude, drained by social interaction INTROVERT DOES NOT MEAN SHYNESS “saturation”: the feeling when you reach the point in a group interaction setting that you need to take some alone time image to explain: introvert is a bike riding up a hill → you may get tired eventually and need to take a break, but you see the trip in more detail extrovert is a car driving up the hill → it’s fast and effortless, but may not see as much of the hill while traveling some generalized introvert skills/traits: like content, good at connecting the dots, deep talks → are useful in helping relationships stick and ideas grow, slower processing (a lag with a payoff) part of owning your leadership is knowing who you are and your strengths as an introvert in organizing, you have to choose a leadership role if you want one and own it networking as an introvert – how do you manage the quick connections when your connection style may need more time than you have? It can be hard to feel like you’re making a meaningful connection/you feel at a loss for quick topics of conversation Practice Think about connecting as a human being, not just business Best practices for using your introversion as a tool? Check in with your self and energy levels What tradeoffs are you willing to make?

Wordpress Debate== If starting a blog site, don’t even think about using Drupal head to Wordpress Wordpress built for blogging; very user-friendly out of the box Drupal more complicated to put together because of the myriad options that you can build in; intended t be a more robust site (i.e. not specifically for blogging) Both open source software; download plugins for different functionalities Drupal has more reliable plugins No custom codes required in Drupal—> difficult for nonprofits to maintain; Wordpress requires user to build way much more from scratch Wordpress (custom code + expensive) v. Drupal (plugin/built in tools+ cheaper + easy to maintain) ==Questions:== *How do you get permission to edit certain pages? *How do you create slideshows on different pages? **Use “Views” modules and a bit of JQuery to have the photos rotate through. There’s also a plugin but if you’re not sure ask a Drupal expert. *What are Drupal configurations? **Drupal configurations (groups, themes, modules; essentially template) collections that are put together for certain purposes so you don’t have to start from scratch. Drupal tools mean you can avoid doing all the custom code and starting from a higher level from the get-go. *Can you customize Drupal configurations? **Yes, but the more you diverge from custom codes the more you have to maintain it. *How should I get started in Drupal? **Visit drupal.org. Use a base theme (Adaptive and Omega). Both give existing framework to make your site responsive. *What are Drupal modules? **Modules are like plugins in Wordpress *What’s the current version of Drupal? **Version 7. Drupal gets a new versions approximately every 3 years with updates in between. Wordpress is superior to Drupal in that you can upgrade from one version to the next. Upgrades in Drupal = pain in the ass because the API changes from version to version, but you can migrate the data to the new Drupal version. *What do nodeques do? **It’s how Drupal allows us to add content to a particular view. First thing in Drupal is figure out types of content people want to post to help determine the types of plugins you might need to installed. *How do you know when you need a new type of content? **If it’s going to have different fields, show up on particular pages, etc. *What are the tried and true modules? **Jack will share them ASAP. Entity references is one *What upgrades well? **“Most installed” modules. *What does a Panel interface do? **Allows you to re-organize the view of a page. The view of page already builds in the ability for customization via panel. You can get your Drupal website going with the following core tools: Context, Panels, Views, Drupal Core eaa6a87e59450f933af42d627dff8e621e5507f9 0 108 216 215 2015-04-28T20:37:23Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki ==Overview== Examples of documents that they use to track analytics Things that you should track related to your goals What are you doing online? How does this inform what you want to keep track of checking your analyics is good but copying it to another spreadsheet is better cause 1. you capture data so that you have your own record 2. it helps you pay attention more and allows you to make graphs that are more meaningful to your needs. You can compare out side info. Like facebook etc When you are looking you are tracking your progress over time. When they talk about data driven non-profits we're talking about letting this info drive you decisions. Interval whatever you decide to is consistency (weekly, monthly etc) What to track from google views, page visits, most popular page or post * Do social networkking that drives people * you need 40 likes to start tracking your facebook analytics * Vanity metrics = not meaningful * Likes are vanity metrics, though they are way that you can track your progress toward real metrics in a differnt way. ==Goals tracking== reporting/conversions/goal tracking a specific pathway. You can find out how many people are User flow From country of teritirory you can see what people's first access point is and where they drop off. If someone looks at one page and leaves that's a bounce. If we see that people from one country and are bouncing after accessing through a certain page we can add more relevant content Dashboards reporting/dashboard/add new/add widget Make custom dashboards where you can specific things. You create widgets You can put these things in your offline report. A starter dashboard has suggested widgets for you. if you do custom, find the metric that you want to track first adn then make it into a widget. example we want to find out what browsers people are accessing the site from a certain bowser. Are the phone browser. Choose the way the data displays and then choose the data that you see. you cannot yet find put the operating system of your users. You can export your dashboards to pdf You can export any of the pre set up things that google analytics to multiple to file formats including CSV. Setting up a tracking spreadsheet. Choose a some things you want to measure based on your goals as an organization. track it and look over time for correlations. Netvibes is a listening dashboard that you can set.

What's the purpose of the file? * Active vs. finished vs. collaborative * Why do people need to access it? * How is it working or not working? * What are some problem areas you have already? Ex. no one can access files so people save on their own desktops. Talk to people at all levels of your organization to get an understanding of how the files are used and how they can be organized more efficiently. Naming conventions are your friend - taxonomy If the files live on the internet (or in the cloud) you can have different views for different users Ex. Box allows administrators to restrict views and edit by certain individuals to specific files or documents * What are your security needs? Do not use Google if you have security concerns Instead, use Spider Oak. It is less user friendly, but all info is encrypted. * Drop Box is a shared file service.

It will help make sure your product comes out exactly as you want it * Keep the colors, tone, language, images similar across your graphics—that will keep the brand consistent and real * A/B testing can let you see what types of images people prefer * You can soft launch websites, and get feedback from the few users who viewed your site 7f153d2613d65c61d9bda75e8620982ff0756edb 0 117 234 233 2015-04-28T20:49:02Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki '''Non-profit goals for using social media: ''' 1. Policy advocacy (signing petitions etc) 2. Engaging community via conversations that impact community 3. Raising awareness of issues / Sharing information 4. Fundraising '''Challenges to consider:''' 1. What is the return of social media? How does social media create Impact? 2. What are the outcomes we want to see by using social media? 3. Social media is corporate driven; advertisement 4. Social media management might not be staff interests; would rather be physically interacting with community 5. How much of the social media interaction might translate to bodies on ground (at events)? SM used as tool to organize. '''Recommendations:''' 1. Search/ Google “best practices of fundraising using social media” 2. Use facebook to engage volunteers; run volunteer days / tag people on photos so that it is viewable by their friends 3. Use Twitter to reach corporate donors; thank/ tag publicly 4. Use facebook url to connect and post on Twitter; can be tracked & measured on Facebook to see engagement 5. Thank followers/ supporters publicly 6. Use corporate best practices if they work, branding with logo etc 7. Use graphics on Facebook… really popular; increases engagement (likes & comments); broadens scope more followers because people are sharing Who is the giving community? How can your social media audience be donors? *Give ownership to community *Give people opportunity by asking them *Tell donors what they are giving to *Make it EASY! Don’t make it too much work. 1 step vs 5 steps *Make it attractive *Memes really attractive with bitly link; some organizations have experienced that donation links are NOT too popular on/from Facebook *Follow-up with personalized thank you written and verbal; calls via calling tree really affective *Resource Raising vs Fund Raising: Resource Raising can be volunteer time or in kind donations that increase capacity and infrastructure of organization; non-cash support can be quantified *Facebook good for engaging people to “take another step” *Get/Share information such as reading an article *Take an action on emergency *Sign Petitions (3rd highest action); then users tweet about it or share it 54fe65b41c9fe9511ac060402786c7d419a5c93d 0 118 236 235 2015-04-28T20:49:02Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki Staff buy-in with IT Team: Marty, James, James, Kellie, Lori Think it's all about Tech tools and fail is getting people to say what they want/buy in Book called "managing Technology to meet your mission" good overview of basics of this topic http://www.nten.org/blog/2008/11/25/managing-technology-meet-your-mission IT alignment is corporate phrase, more program driven and tools that serve mission Buy in is about whole staff, what does this department do, what tools might help that Align tech to strategic plan How to convince management needs of organization Tech can get jargony, technical, men, older, gender and tech dynamics - explainable in language others can understand Balance, if management doesn't understand may not want to admit it Technology comes as afterthought - not unique to tech in role - communication problem in general - Buy-in - early on money upfront to facilitate and getting them involved - before imposing technology on them. What are you doing and how can I help that? Talking about, agreeing on, implementing something people want Pitching how a tool might make their lives easier before adopting it Starting with less options/hack to make interface less overwhelming/less options Emotional response - technology can be overwhelming/ people can get anxious; one on one sessions to walk them through/ counseling Personality as well, how are different people processing information? Visually? One on one Defining scope of work ahead of time has helped a lot meeting with staff to see what they need, get whole list, work with developer on checklist, usability testing and feedback One on ones with all staff, constantly tease out about what they need and how they feel about things so I know Letting people test, tasks and specific thing to do - incentivize them to do that Asking people needs often as opposed to when there's a crisis Technology sparks emotion, be flexible and understand/be aware of where people are at. If I start calling you names, your fight responses increase, blood not going to brain and can't think - if someone reacts emotionally, know when to stop and reassess how to connect Connect actual work to training, have staff bring their own work to do tasks with new tools Tools through technology they currently use and are familiar with Form relationships / develop internal ambassadors/champions that are outside of tech - get more engagement that way Policy change - best practices for data security and management - how to communicate to staff the Importance of security - strategy: google search example of what could happen if don't have secure password, share with people; instead of trying to convince them, is there a tool out there that makes it easier for them (example - lastpass); justify what we're asking from people and pitch in a way that makes sense; If I say "you need to do" x vs. talk with folks so they understand that, their motivation is higher; framing it in terms of what it means to them in their position/type of work Not making space for technology, just want it to work. Not prioritizing. Everyone is informationally overwhelmed. Strategies: tasks and rewards; ask them to set specific time aside; IT alignment buy in at the beginning messaging from their boss on it being important; incentivize it with money; NTEN staffing report - ratios for staffing benchmark; who's in which role for IT within the organization. There is a book called "The accidental techie" that goes through issues; common issues How to communicate how much time some of these tech requests actually take . Strategies and time commitment for each strategy - flow chart or time breakdown of types of tasks; Gantt chart or some way of showing how much time and cost it would be. Break it down in money and time and share with boss. Sometime it's at the end when decisions been made: when you ask, people say everything is important; what is the order of how I should start this, if new things come up, how does that come up in the order - onus is on them to decide order of work to do a3a435481071e435f2e43a698e6f30ffa8132df5 0 119 238 237 2015-04-28T20:49:02Z Vivian 4 1 revision imported wikitext text/x-wiki == I will == * I will request CRM demos from 3 different sources before choosing a database software. -Nancy S. * I will follow up with all the people I connected with at Tech Fest. -Taisha * I will connect with more organizations. -Anthony * I will make my landing page more clear. -Gina * I will have conversations with my org. about staff capacity. * I will use design elements from logo to make cohesive design. -Sarah * I will reconvene my database work group to share best practices on “tech project management, setup protocols, timeline, clear expectations,” -Nancy S. * I will use an event planning template to organize data from Eventbrite. -James H. * I will follow up with people, send blabla book to Ruth, send contact info.

'''Communities''' : Impoverished communities always benefit from increased access to information tech : Santa Cruz County should be like Silicon Valley : You have to be of the community to change the community. : Silicone Valley's community contributions are positive '''Social media''' : Connections on social media are not real. : The DOWNSIDES of facebook - surveillance, data mining for corporate profit -- are bigger than the UPSIDES for activists or organizers : Facebook isn't worth it! : Social media is good for humanity : Using corproate controled social media is worth the larger social reach '''The internet''' : The internet should be restricted based on content. : We are too dependant on the internet. == 10:30 AM – Break == == 10:45 AM – Agenda Framing Discussions and Agenda Mosh-Pit == Working in small and large group formats, participants will discuss "big picture" issues relating to technology and social justice in California. From there, they will brainstorm specific topics to be revisited in subsequent working sessions as well as in post-event efforts.

Can serve all sorts of purposes for your orga to organize the relationships you have with different people. * '''[[Cooperatives]]''': Collectives of business owners who own collective shares of a business. Equal shares in responsibility, income, etc. no heirarchy. Major takeaway was that employees/owners are not just there to make a democratic process but to promote the business. Not just a boss and employees where the boss is pushing things, you have 6 bosses trying to drum up work. * '''[[Movie theater of social media]]''': Push humor into social media as a tool to engage users and also make them laugh and want to come back. What we're working with isn't always funny, but important to have humor. * '''[[Visualization]]''': My aha moment was that you can use stick figures instead of words. Looking forward to integrating into presentations and research outputs to engage with a general audience. * '''[[Security]]''': Keepass is a FLOSS was to secure passwords. Only have to know one. * '''[[Internships]]''': They're not interns. Call them fellows. When we talk about social entreprenuers, we need a mutual understanding between the two projects. need to ask what they need to learn, as well as what our expectations are. == 4:00 PM – Closing Circle == == 4:30 PM – Group Picture == == 5:00 PM – Adjourn Day 1 == Participants are welcome to stay after and ask additional questions. == 5:30 PM – Post-Event Hang Out == Hang out location to be determined. = '''Friday, April 29, 2016''' = == 8:30 AM – Coffee and light breakfast == == 9:00 AM – Opening Circle == == 9:30 AM – Peer Skill-Sharing Sessions == Participants will have an opportunity to share or learn tactical technology and campaigning skills in small group format. == 10:30 AM – Break == == 10:45 AM – Collaborative Breakout Sessions == Participants will choose from 5-7 working groups, and will be welcome to suggest or request additional sessions. * '''[[How to get people to use the tools you have or about to use]]''' : Lisa : change management, helping your collegues work with new electornic tools. And cools things like communication charter where you set up how you want to interact with your comms and each other. * '''[[Designing internship programs for mutual benefit]]''' : Nasma * '''[[Web design]]''' : William * '''[[Digital storytelling with youth]]''' : Max * '''[[Working with rural communities]]''' : JC : Where people gather, how they communicate, being respectful when you're an outsider. * '''[[Encryption focused on PGP and text messaging]]''' : Jack : Some very simple things that we should all be doing, and some more complicated things. Everyone should check out the Free Software Foundation because they have great tutorials. * '''[[Technology for nonprofits of all sizes]]''' : Ken == 12:30 PM – Lunch == == 1:30 PM – Collaborative Breakout Sessions == Participants will choose from 5-7 session topics, and will be welcome to suggest or request additional sessions. * '''[[Video production with youth]]''' : Max : Working with youth, while not something I prefer to do seems to be in my future. Great tips about programs used and different models. Two programs Hit Films Three and Black Magic Resolve because I don't want to use the Adobe Suite (nor can I afford them). How folk can play with more string (it's digital!), how to share online. * '''[[Building your online presence]]''' : David : How important messaging and integrity are by not jumping into certain topics. What medium is best for you (Facebook or Twitter or something else). Resources - a communication matrix is on the Aspiration website. * '''[[CRM 2.0]]''' : Lisa : How to decide different CRM pathways. What informtaion do we want to collect, how do we want to collect it, how will each experience be different? CiviCRM, SalesForce. Trailhead is a self-teaching website. Also CiviCRM and SalesForce consultants who can help us. * '''[[Interactive maps and data visualization]]''' : Sergio : Dug through some tools from UCSC like ROI that allows you to look at specific parts of a town about how opportunity is less in one area of Santa Cruz than in another. Also looked at the youth tool to see what opportunity they have available to them. Makes data more tangible. * '''[[Digital risk assessment]]''' : Ken : No gods, no masters, no report backs. Talked about big data, nonprofits asking about who they're trying to protect and what they're trying to protect. Creating a culture of promoting those conversations. Implications of protecting data, what happens when you don't protect it. * '''[[Alternative careers in tech]]''' : Jack : Co-ops and careers with nonprofits. You don't have to have a degree to work with IT, especially social justice. Maybe don't go. Co-ops are a place where everyone puts in on work, and it feels good to work in that group. Good way of dealing with funders and frustration. == 2:30 PM – Break == == 2:45 PM – Where From Here == The group will pause to take stock of the progress made to this point and to inventory action items, next steps, and other bridges to post-event collaborations. == 3:15 PM – Closing Circle and Appreciations == == 4:00 PM – Adjourn == [[Category:2016 Watsonville]] 8c23b4ef060e5cb60b9752c0054bf94109033dff 2 140 310 2016-04-28T15:48:06Z Willow 8 Created page with "Community Leadership Strategist at Aspiration.

JC works a lot in Watsonville to teach parents how to have basic computer skills because the school district decided to do everything on the web (grades, schedules, etc). But the school didn't have a lot of access in terms of computers. So we hosted classes. Parents could then email teachers, check children's grades, etc. While the library might be open, all the '''language''' was also in English. ===Barriers=== Language barriers are the biggest thing holding back rural communities. Tactile things like iPads are easier to use. Hand-eye coordination with the mouse and the screen is super weird. Also come at a different cost. When writing an RFP to fundraise, think about that. But when writing those things, also focus mostly on the story and the people, less on the tools. Lots of time invested in being '''on-foot'''. People get information from bulletin boards in laudromats, schools, groceries. Initially thought Facebook would be the organizing tool, but it's not. I was, but others weren't. Didn't get a lot of folk showing up. Had to go on foot. Nonprofits might be more (or differently) connected than the population you're trying to reach. ==Security== We're so empowered with tech that when we come into these communities, we need to think about security. We might think we're doing a huge service, but we're opening up new people to new theats. There are a few examples in rural communities where we trust big corporations like google docs. A rural youth community wanted to put legal statuses of students and parents on google docs. We think about trusting these big orgs, but we don't know how it works and we don't know their political motives. It took one subpoena to get all that information, and ICE was at the door. For these sorts of cases, we like to recommend more Open Source tools. The "source code" (how it was built) is visible to others. Big corporate tools hide how things work. We KNOW things are going to be hacked now. ===Open Source=== What is an alternative to google docs? I can give you alternative, but it's not going to keep you safe. We work at Aspiration at etherpad. You don't need a user login to use it, and the information going in is anonymous. Every computer connected to the internet has an IP address (like a license plate) to track its history and location. Etherpads are a good option. Pirate pads. ==Working with a community== Getting people to show up for events has a lot to do with how you present yourself. Be respectful, follow the dress code, body language, localized language. Listen for a long time. Spend your first day hearing about what the community needs, then we see if we have a role there at all. If people want to interact, follow their lead. Manage expectations about what you can provide, what you can do, ===Other hard-to-reach groups=== Sylvia's groups use public libraries. People would like cell phones, but they get stolen. If we hit saturation, maybe they wouldn't get stolen. ===Other tools=== Socialsourcecommons.org where people make tool boxes (mostly Open Source and free) for different projects and communities.

Talk about what the problem is, what needs to be done. Rather than starting with the tool (e.g. a database), start with the problems or needs, talk through those. Engages other people in the conversation so that when the best solution is a new tech tool, it's a collaborative decision, rather than some techie outside force imposing technology on people. * Engaging people in the process is a way for techies to respect and trust the expertise and knowledge of the folks you're working with. * Working with people on technology over the long haul--maybe not quality time all the time, but quantity time--can be the key to opening up these conversations and opportunities. * User-led vs management led adoption is important; people can quit jobs over not being included in the adoption of new software or tech solutions. * Database problem! Hard to get people to track their data; instructors don't take attendance, aren't used to that sort of thing. Even though there's a system that everyone needs to use, even if it's something so easy as a Google Form. How do you get people to procedurally do these things? * What you need at the end of the day is a list of who was there; problem is getting everyone to actually collect that data. Choose the method that has highest probability of full adoption. Is it better for you to collect info have to type that info into a system at the end of the day than not having the info at all? * Give people real reasons that they can get down with for going through the process, using the tools. Need to understand what you can really get out of it. * Sometimes there's a resistance to implementing new pieces of technology within an existing job. * Ongoing relationships with folks can really help build a knowledge and trust that can help you give good feedback. * Telling someone that the tech will save them time can sometimes implicitly be an insult--"you've been wasting time all these months/years!" * Focus on the benefits of saving time, not the time being wasted--people can spend more time on program development, having time for the things they always wish they had time from at the end of the week. * There's a "new technology gets people fired" fear. * Feels like the techie's responsibility to come up with procedures for people to adopt something new. * Example: difficulty of getting people to use a new project management tool. No one was using it, but people DO use email, so they connected the project management tool and email, but people are still not using it. * Sometimes you can put more tech solutions in that make the process of using new tech transparent, like it's not even there, e.g. emailing into a project management system. * Sometimes you have to take a hard line on things to get people to use it. Sometimes you need a special situation to push that hard line!

Can serve all sorts of purposes for your orga to organize the relationships you have with different people. * '''[[Cooperatives]]''': Collectives of business owners who own collective shares of a business. Equal shares in responsibility, income, etc. no heirarchy. Major takeaway was that employees/owners are not just there to make a democratic process but to promote the business. Not just a boss and employees where the boss is pushing things, you have 6 bosses trying to drum up work. * '''[[Movie theater of social media]]''': Push humor into social media as a tool to engage users and also make them laugh and want to come back. What we're working with isn't always funny, but important to have humor. * '''[[Visualization]]''': My aha moment was that you can use stick figures instead of words. Looking forward to integrating into presentations and research outputs to engage with a general audience. * '''[[Security]]''': Keepass is a FLOSS was to secure passwords. Only have to know one. * '''[[Internships]]''': They're not interns. Call them fellows. When we talk about social entreprenuers, we need a mutual understanding between the two projects. need to ask what they need to learn, as well as what our expectations are. == 4:00 PM – Closing Circle == == 4:30 PM – Group Picture == [https://www.flickr.com/photos/aspirationtech/26749707261 happy] and [https://www.flickr.com/photos/aspirationtech/26723319772 weird]. : thanks, Dahn! == 5:00 PM – Adjourn Day 1 == Participants are welcome to stay after and ask additional questions. == 5:30 PM – Post-Event Hang Out == Hang out location to be determined. = '''Friday, April 29, 2016''' = == 8:30 AM – Coffee and light breakfast == == 9:00 AM – Opening Circle == == 9:30 AM – Peer Skill-Sharing Sessions == Participants will have an opportunity to share or learn tactical technology and campaigning skills in small group format. * [[New user tech training]] * Disaster response spawned [https://digitalresponse.aspirationtech.org/index.php?title=Media_guide_for_extreme_events Media guide for extreme events] and [https://digitalresponse.aspirationtech.org/index.php?title=Extreme_event_preparedness_and_response_for_small_nonprofits extreme event preparedness and response for small nonprofits] == 10:30 AM – Break == == 10:45 AM – Collaborative Breakout Sessions == Participants will choose from 5-7 working groups, and will be welcome to suggest or request additional sessions. * '''[[How to get people to use the tools you have or about to use]]''' : Lisa : change management, helping your collegues work with new electornic tools. And cools things like communication charter where you set up how you want to interact with your comms and each other. * '''[[Designing internship programs for mutual benefit]]''' : Nasma * '''[[Web design]]''' : William * '''[[Digital storytelling with youth]]''' : Max * '''[[Working with rural communities]]''' : JC : Where people gather, how they communicate, being respectful when you're an outsider. * '''[[Encryption focused on PGP and text messaging]]''' : Jack : Some very simple things that we should all be doing, and some more complicated things. Everyone should check out the Free Software Foundation because they have great tutorials. * '''[[Technology for nonprofits of all sizes]]''' : Ken == 12:30 PM – Lunch == == 1:30 PM – Collaborative Breakout Sessions == Participants will choose from 5-7 session topics, and will be welcome to suggest or request additional sessions. * '''[[Video production with youth]]''' : Max : Working with youth, while not something I prefer to do seems to be in my future. Great tips about programs used and different models. Two programs Hit Films Three and Black Magic Resolve because I don't want to use the Adobe Suite (nor can I afford them). How folk can play with more string (it's digital!), how to share online. * '''[[Building your online presence]]''' : David : How important messaging and integrity are by not jumping into certain topics. What medium is best for you (Facebook or Twitter or something else). Resources - a communication matrix is on the Aspiration website. * '''[[CRM 2.0]]''' : Lisa : How to decide different CRM pathways. What informtaion do we want to collect, how do we want to collect it, how will each experience be different? CiviCRM, SalesForce. Trailhead is a self-teaching website. Also CiviCRM and SalesForce consultants who can help us. * '''[[Interactive maps and data visualization]]''' : Sergio : Dug through some tools from UCSC like ROI that allows you to look at specific parts of a town about how opportunity is less in one area of Santa Cruz than in another. Also looked at the youth tool to see what opportunity they have available to them. Makes data more tangible. * '''[[Digital risk assessment]]''' : Ken : No gods, no masters, no report backs. Talked about big data, nonprofits asking about who they're trying to protect and what they're trying to protect. Creating a culture of promoting those conversations. Implications of protecting data, what happens when you don't protect it. * '''[[Alternative careers in tech]]''' : Jack : Co-ops and careers with nonprofits. You don't have to have a degree to work with IT, especially social justice. Maybe don't go. Co-ops are a place where everyone puts in on work, and it feels good to work in that group. Good way of dealing with funders and frustration. == 2:30 PM – Break == == 2:45 PM – Where From Here == The group will pause to take stock of the progress made to this point and to inventory action items, next steps, and other bridges to post-event collaborations.

JC works a lot in Watsonville to teach parents how to have basic computer skills because the school district decided to do everything on the web (grades, schedules, etc). But the school didn't have a lot of access in terms of computers. So we hosted classes. Parents could then email teachers, check children's grades, etc. While the library might be open, all the '''language''' was also in English. ===Barriers=== Language barriers are the biggest thing holding back rural communities. Tactile things like iPads are easier to use. Hand-eye coordination with the mouse and the screen is super weird. Also come at a different cost. When writing an RFP to fundraise, think about that. But when writing those things, also focus mostly on the story and the people, less on the tools. Lots of time invested in being '''on-foot'''. People get information from bulletin boards in laudromats, schools, groceries. Initially thought Facebook would be the organizing tool, but it's not. I was, but others weren't. Didn't get a lot of folk showing up. Had to go on foot. Nonprofits might be more (or differently) connected than the population you're trying to reach. ==Security== We're so empowered with tech that when we come into these communities, we need to think about security. We might think we're doing a huge service, but we're opening up new people to new theats. There are a few examples in rural communities where we trust big corporations like google docs. A rural youth community wanted to put legal statuses of students and parents on google docs. We think about trusting these big orgs, but we don't know how it works and we don't know their political motives. It took one subpoena to get all that information, and ICE was at the door. For these sorts of cases, we like to recommend more Open Source tools. The "source code" (how it was built) is visible to others. Big corporate tools hide how things work. We KNOW things are going to be hacked now. ===Open Source=== What is an alternative to google docs? I can give you alternative, but it's not going to keep you safe. We work at Aspiration at etherpad. You don't need a user login to use it, and the information going in is anonymous. Every computer connected to the internet has an IP address (like a license plate) to track its history and location. Etherpads are a good option. Pirate pads. ==Working with a community== Getting people to show up for events has a lot to do with how you present yourself. Be respectful, follow the dress code, body language, localized language. Listen for a long time. Spend your first day hearing about what the community needs, then we see if we have a role there at all. If people want to interact, follow their lead. Manage expectations about what you can provide, what you can do, ===Other hard-to-reach groups=== Sylvia's groups use public libraries. People would like cell phones, but they get stolen. If we hit saturation, maybe they wouldn't get stolen. ===Other tools=== Socialsourcecommons.org where people make tool boxes (mostly Open Source and free) for different projects and communities.

Aspiration events are first and foremost convened to strengthen the ties and social networks of technology practitioners in the non-profit/non-governmental sectors. Our agenda philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities. The following are some general comments about how we'll run the agenda at the CA Tech Fest * Our goal is to get each participant the answers and the understanding they need. The ultimate goal of the event is to strengthen a community of practice among nonprofits and community organizations in California, and engender collaboration and dialog that sustain long after the event. * The agenda is malleable. '''Participants should feel free to propose sessions at any time''', and sessions may be moved around to accommodate requests by both participants and facilitators, and... : We'll use part of the first morning to let participants discuss the agenda, and request additional sessions to be offered. * Sessions are designed to be highly interactive. You won't see any panels or keynotes at the CA Tech Fest, and presentations will be short and intended to spur discussion. Facilitators understand that their primary goal is to enable learning, address questions, and support peer sharing. Bring your questions, and your knowledge to share! * We'll use the wiki at the event to capture notes from each session. We welcome your contributions to the wiki. (If you aren't familiar with wiki's, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki here] is a valuable resource) * Use of laptops and cellphones for multitasking during sessions is strongly discouraged: we encourage all participants to be fully present in sessions and discussions, rather than doing twitter, blogging, email etc. We invite participants to use the morning and afternoon breaks, as well as the lunch hour, to check in with external realities. * We also discourage "drop-in" participation for 1 or several sessions; the event format is highly collaborative, and full participation by all is a key to successful event outcomes. * If there is a session or discussion you would like to facilitate, feel free to be in touch with the event organizers, we'd love to hear what you're thinking. We have guidelines for both [http://facilitation.aspirationtech.org/index.php?title=Facilitation:Facilitator_Guidelines facilitators] and [http://facilitation.aspirationtech.org/index.php?title=Participants:Guidelines participants] for what is expected of each at events. Breakout sessions at our events have particular traits; we de-emphasize presentations and lecture, and instead focus on "break-out" sessions that are self-organized whenever possible.

The #CATechFest session list is co-developed with participants, facilitators, and partners in the time leading up to and during the Festival. We strongly encourage you to join in the fun at this unique and interactive gathering! The agenda is designed and facilitated using Aspiration's unique participatory model, in an environment where powerpoint slides are discouraged and dialog and collaboration drive the learning. Our philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities.

How does this inform what you want to keep track of checking your analyics is good but copying it to another spreadsheet is better cause # you capture data so that you have your own record # it helps you pay attention more and allows you to make graphs that are more meaningful to your needs. You can compare out side info. Like facebook etc When you are looking you are tracking your progress over time. : When they talk about data driven non-profits we're talking about letting this info drive you decisions. Interval : whatever you decide to is consistency (weekly, monthly etc) What to track from google : views, page visits, most popular page or post * Do social networking that drives people * you need 40 likes to start tracking your facebook analytics * Vanity metrics = not meaningful * Likes are vanity metrics, though they are way that you can track your progress toward real metrics in a differnt way. ==Goals tracking== reporting/conversions/goal tracking a specific pathway. You can find out how many people are ===User flow=== : From country of teritirory you can see what people's first access point is and where they drop off. : If someone looks at one page and leaves that's a bounce. : If we see that people from one country and are bouncing after accessing through a certain page we can add more relevant content ===Dashboards=== :reporting/dashboard/add new/add widget :Make custom dashboards where you can specific things. You create widgets You can put these things in your offline report. :A starter dashboard has suggested widgets for you. :if you do custom, find the metric that you want to track first adn then make it into a widget. :example we want to find out what browsers people are accessing the site from a certain bowser. Are the phone browser. :Choose the way the data displays and then choose the data that you see. you cannot yet find put the operating system of your users. You can export your dashboards to pdf :You can export any of the pre set up things that google analytics to multiple to file formats including CSV. Setting up a tracking spreadsheet. :Choose a some things you want to measure based on your goals as an organization. :track it and look over time for correlations.

Wordpress Debate== If starting a blog site, don’t even think about using Drupal head to Wordpress Wordpress built for blogging; very user-friendly out of the box Drupal more complicated to put together because of the myriad options that you can build in; intended t be a more robust site (i.e. not specifically for blogging) Both open source software; download plugins for different functionalities Drupal has more reliable plugins No custom codes required in Drupal—> difficult for nonprofits to maintain; Wordpress requires user to build way much more from scratch Wordpress (custom code + expensive) v. Drupal (plugin/built in tools+ cheaper + easy to maintain) ==Questions:== *How do you get permission to edit certain pages? *How do you create slideshows on different pages? **Use “Views” modules and a bit of JQuery to have the photos rotate through. There’s also a plugin but if you’re not sure ask a Drupal expert. *What are Drupal configurations? **Drupal configurations (groups, themes, modules; essentially template) collections that are put together for certain purposes so you don’t have to start from scratch. Drupal tools mean you can avoid doing all the custom code and starting from a higher level from the get-go. *Can you customize Drupal configurations? **Yes, but the more you diverge from custom codes the more you have to maintain it. *How should I get started in Drupal? **Visit drupal.org. Use a base theme (Adaptive and Omega). Both give existing framework to make your site responsive. *What are Drupal modules? **Modules are like plugins in Wordpress *What’s the current version of Drupal? **Version 7. Drupal gets a new versions approximately every 3 years with updates in between. Wordpress is superior to Drupal in that you can upgrade from one version to the next. Upgrades in Drupal = pain in the ass because the API changes from version to version, but you can migrate the data to the new Drupal version. *What do nodeques do? **It’s how Drupal allows us to add content to a particular view. First thing in Drupal is figure out types of content people want to post to help determine the types of plugins you might need to installed. *How do you know when you need a new type of content? **If it’s going to have different fields, show up on particular pages, etc. *What are the tried and true modules? **Jack will share them ASAP. Entity references is one *What upgrades well? **“Most installed” modules. *What does a Panel interface do? **Allows you to re-organize the view of a page. The view of page already builds in the ability for customization via panel. You can get your Drupal website going with the following core tools: Context, Panels, Views, Drupal Core [[Category: 2014 Richmond]] [[Category:CMS]] [[Category: CRM]] 2e217ef9d099129d524c88cab56042f834548d0b 0 106 384 212 2016-05-04T19:01:17Z Willow 8 wikitext text/x-wiki ==Overview== *Aspiration offers business coaching and proposal vetting *tech minimalism- when in doubt, leave it at *no such thing as a self-maintaining tool *free tools you are the product: data responsibility *knowing who is maintaining/owning your content *model for shit hitting the fare *control fixed monthly costs *evaluate $5 vs @500 monthly hosting costs *a lot of how you pay is time *tech is a garden, requires wedding *beep a spreadsheet of recurring costs *no magic budget for tech *pizza delivery pathology: **cook me a pizza and deliver **tech leadership is understanding costs *trust trustworthy people *Aspiration helps with grant proposals *get funders excited about impact *wrap up tech in impact narrative *funders dont know what tech costs. *NPOs bottom line = survival, efficiency *multiply what you think: $10 --. $15k *5 paths: eric leland ** Drupal: * cost-sharing: be cautious of divergent needs/priorities **make a solid document that outlines how decision get made **lot *every decision: are we maximizing control over our destinz **long term contracts dont do it *have the divorve convo before signing a contract (again control is your data) *open source!

Anyone can download and install on a server * Civi CRM is a web application, access through web browser * needs to go on web server * Most web hosts can also support civi crm * most people have shared hosting * shared hosting is typical hosting account * CIVICRM WORKS SO SO ON SHARED HOSTING * There are Sharehosts that are known to be good for CiviCRM. * Electric Embers sharedhosting is pretty good for CiviCRM, much better for VPS * VPS : virtual private server; pay more, more resources * Installing and configuring CiviCRM - install for free *if you don't know how to install and configure, its better to get consultant but you can also do barebones set up, maybe can configure yourself If you want to do donations, or special reports on different kinds of members, then it's better to have a consultant who knows how CiviCRM works, knows what org needs are * can't just install like windows program * MAMP FOR WINDOWS -- ways you can get it set up and installed but Jack wouldn't endorse that * valuable for its interactivity * you can have interactivity inside and outside organization (from members, from donors, etc) * donations can be made directly from CiviCRM authorize.net or paypal PRO that integrate with CiviCRM *Segment your members, put them in groups : (ex: event callout, invite, donation campaign, general mailing--can use all of this information in specific ways) *US federation of worker cooperatives EXAMPLE : Member Application -- can happen through website Drupal website w/ CiviCRM * Avoiding double entry * you don' have to code form; Civi CRM is always installed within a content management system, such as Wordpress, Drupal * Civi CRM can leverage technology of CMS's * website login for each member; connected to CiviCRM member * Let people edit members and update information themselves * click: For Members page on * More on the page if logged into as member; way you can give people access to stuff because of how their contact is labeled in CiviCRM; can offer special resources to members which they can't get if not logged in * NEW EXAMPLE: FoodLab Detroit * On right tab: "Check out our current Members" * Become a member tab * Membership directory: can search by business; giving site viitors a way to search through members in the CiviCRM database without access to info they're not supposed to have * also used by national lawyers guild * automatically pulled out of CiviCRM once built/enabled * Staff doesn't have to take it out of CiviCRM * content and database seamlessly connected * "Related Content" - example of going beyond bare bones * Looking at CiviCRM - backend * different access levels and different permissions * restrict who can see certain information about certain people, etc major donors -- politics around seeing who they are * restricting records of major donors, * put all in group, only certain user role can see it * can also see but not edit, etc * Looking at member profile * Tags, knowing where member came from different types of contacts, individual, organizational, households (ways to group people together) specificity * tracking contact with members; we had meeting with person, came to event, etc, tracking interaction, * can track whether received and clicked through email? * can also track relationships: employer of, primary contact * can also have stuff in the press put up on website * how it relates to civiCRM contact (DRUPAL ONLY) when creating media piece/edit media piece, * scroll down and specify what members this is related to * when go to member on site, can see related content * start small, start where you can build * tightly integrated systems that talk to each other * can have different skin or theme on CiviCRM depending on website * Next example: Audre Lorde Project *uses powerbase ==CiviCRM vs powerbase== * Progressive Technology Project - similar to aspiration, helps people get set up with CiviCRM using powerbase * CiviCRM software hosted for you, updated for you, * they help you configure it * ongoing support depending on plan you sign up for * phone support on highest price plan * email support, forums, etc * access to training * civicrm provided by PTP * monthly or yearly fee * whether you want that or not depends on what your organisation * Audre Lorde moved it out of powerbase ==Cost of CiviCRM in general== * low end - small organizations - basic thing * Valantes Technology Cooperative - where Jack works in Brooklyn * 1 to 2k - barebones version * Food Lab - more like 10k to configure, maybe a bit less * CiviCRM - initial setup fee, assessing organizational needs, integration into website, training, launch * in the futire: minimum = software updates * help with host - electric embers - shared - good * but VPS, need to do manually, works for lots of members/activity * food lab VPS - private hosting * Aspiration - gives non-biased opinion * Techliminal in Oakland - drop in pay 10 bucks and experts will answer questions * Salesforce vs CiviCRM * CiviCRM - free and open source * Salesforce - you have to start paying for more and more * CiviCRM - freedom to move web server * Salesforce - if you don't like corporate or data use practices, you can't move out of salesforce, goes up a lot $ * Any CRM - internal dynamic complex and robust, make sure team is ready and on board * salesforce doesn't run within drupal or wordpress * separate login for website and salesforce, those are disconnected * there are modules that can integrate site and salesforce, however * anything that can be done with drupal data can be done with civi; tightly integrated * ALP Database: using CRM, Tracking contributions, pledges, memberships, events, activities, mailings, relationships, groups, notes, tags, change log, * can see if the person clicked through or not * CiviCRM runs within platform, can make CiviCRM public even if not involved with website * you can make it look like your website without directly integrating it with your website * "Manage Groups" * smart groups (everyone who lives in brooklyn, certain agegroup, to send emails to them, etc) and manually created groups * want to group people together * civicrm.org -- Find an Expert Tab * organic groups -- free module for Drupal, uses CRM * Think about what you need and can afford, and what you want and might be able to afford in the future (don't want to be stuck with what you can't grow with) ==learn CRM?== progressivetech.org lots of videos youtube free webinars newsletter, also meetups in SF, possibly in Oakland too get training, etc [[Category: 2014 Richmond]] [[Category:CRM]] 55cab9c949601f357505f719fd0e19cdf62576f2 0 101 388 202 2016-05-04T19:05:24Z Willow 8 wikitext text/x-wiki facilitated by Gunner Notes by Katie Roper Gunner's Tips: * commit to the least number of deliverables * document everything * focus on producing the MVP - minimal viable product Lisa- looking to learn skills Shina- food bank Suzi- multiple people Caitlin- Raeanne- Project management is like community organizing, you need to tell the story and get people behind your idea.

You are not here to * Key: accountability and transparency * Great tools: the more simple the less likely it is to be hated. Base camp is simple which makes it impossible for it to fail by non-compliance. ==A Project Management Tool Should:== * Allow you to set milestones * Say who's accountable for it * Turn red when dates are missed/email notification Nothing should be done without value. People will not do stuff for the sake of doing it, relate the story of how/why this is useful. ==How to hold people accountable:== * Make sure your project goal is clear * Know what the individual accountability is towards goal * Have document clearly explain this in no ambiguous terms * Don't "voluntell" people for the the job, discuss the aspects in clear terms and get by-in * Manager is the love bringer not the enforcer ==Check-ins== * Weekly meetings are best timing * Goals fail when not tied to checkin * Base camp is tied to workflow/checking * Do the MVP of short tight meetings work * Know when is something needs to be offline * Have weekly checkin but if not needed we cancel it ==Other tips== * All things in life need to be conveyed by project managers by giving value for every ask * Understanding all stakeholders needs/ values/ motivations and convey to them differently * Commit to working toward that value * "I hear you, I hear you would like to get to x, I would like to help you get there too. For x we need y" * Project managers use tension and aversion sparingly, guilt * Lift up the winners, overall narrative of we're winning * Work with the elegant silent fails * Instead of "I know cost-benefit," try to get people who are difficult to do the minimum and deprioritize their needs if they are not delivering ==What if you are managing someone in a different org?== * First never say "managing" to partner orgs * Need to have transparency layer * Perhaps online transparency tool * Experienced project manager has all to-dos in an open spot not behind your organizational boundary * Really clearly define accountability * Project managers live and die on the clarity of deliverables Must be in writing Meeting notes are key Never agree on deliverables just in conversation ==Project managers 101== * Write down the story of how we get to done * Many new project managers freestyle * We need an asset path: what we will make to get to the thing * What each thing is specifically * Front load complexity * Use MVP * Leave the fluffy stuff/pretty stuff til the end ==How to manage Funders need/ high maintenance funders== * really account for the costs of those funders: low morale, loss of respect * talk to funders as peers not as better than you, you are not their hired help * be transparent and have a conversation early about when they can have input * name the potential issues out right, evoke people that don't exist (we had a FUNDER that...)

Learning experiences for readers B. Learning experiences for those collecting stories C. Fundraising strategy D. Can influence political change (hard to do) ==Types of Storytelling== * Interviewing, editing, actively ''curating'' stories * '''User-generated:''' provide a platform for people to submit their own stories. Can have some issues - hard to gather stories, hard to gather cohesive info. Speaking language isn't necessarily ''storytelling'' language. ==Ethics and Policy== * '''Good practice:''' If you curate and edit, go back to original subject/source to share how you edited it, how you want to use it, get final permission. In some cases, you may want to get permission signatures. * Be explicit with source about use of their story * Get written permission to use photo and quotes * Be prepared to show up with forms. Be aware these forms can be off-putting. Make sure it's about protecting the source's words/thoughts ==How to Turn Informal Talks Into Formal Interviews== * Make first contact, build a relationship * Take contact info * Let person(s) know you want to share their story and ''why''. Let them know where their words could appear and how it will be used * Create a list of questions ahead of time. Consider hosting "practice" interviews to get wheels turning ** Ask open-ended questions ** Be a gentle guide for the conversation ** Have follow-up questions to help get and keep people talking on topic <blockquote style="background-color: lightgrey; border: solid thin grey;">'''Exercise''': Involve others in the storytelling process by allowing others to review transcripts of interviews and highlighting what they feel are the most important elements.</blockquote> ==Sharing Stories== Through professional networks, with partners/funders, target press, share stories with other NGOs. ==Look into...== ===PhotoVoice=== Digital storytelling projects. Community-run. Take pics of community, then stitch photos together into a story with audio overlay. Can be themed projects. It's not an app, just a method. Find method on Wikipedia or Google. ===PlaySpent.org=== A game format that educates players on an issue. The issue is poverty. This is one example of interactive storytelling. ===Have a way to share!=== Most people won't find your games, videos, or apps. Think about practical applications. ===Storify=== Creates one cohesive story in Tweet/collaborative form. ===Jesikah Maria Ross=== Praxis Projects uses another storytelling method in which the process of gathering stories informs the overall discussion. ===Tracy's website=== [http://www.voicesfromthevalley.org/ Voices From the Valley] (see some examples of digital stories ) Built on WordPress - features a news feed and RSS feed * Looking for ideas on timeline software ==Text, Photography, or Video?== * Photos really help reach people faster than text. * Mix up your mediums! * Video is more labor intensive, takes some techie knowledge. Photos can be more easily managed * Beautiful vs. Message and Aesthetics vs. Content, up for debate! * Pretty can cost more.

The key goal is to set yourself up in preproduction so that you get as much material as is possible during production so you have options to make the best video you can during the post production process. ==Rules of thumb for how much film== * For final video of 3-5 minutes, 1 hour of a-roll and 3/4 hour of b-roll. * For final video of 10 minutes, 4 hours of video. ==Tools You Will Need== * A few quality elements, and * Something to take photos like a digital camera. Note1: You can get quality media at a minimal fee by renting for a period of time. Note2: That in planning you need to create a structure for the quality. If the quality is good, it will trump the content. ===Audio rule of thumb=== * It's best to record the sound separately. ==How to organize== * Determine what need before do filming * Decide how to name filmed materials so easy to find, and * Give self room for trial and error. You can get quality media for a minimal fee * Create structure for quality. ==Tutorials== Amanda mentions that there are a number of online tutorials on YouTube. * She recommends that you watch each video once without doing anything else. * she then recommends the second time, to watch while trying to do simultaneously. ===Softwares one might use=== * Final Cut Pro, * Premiere, and * iMovieX. ==General Conclusion== If you organize yourself well, the rest will follow nicely.

Data in motion, ie. while being transferred/downloaded. assume that all communication is being recorded forever. much of it stored and analyzed later. so encryption and learning to encrypt is a statement of movement solidarity - choosing not to encrypt is a policy and political decision that affects others. encryption raises the cost of surveillance. * email - use ssl & pgp * web - https everywhere tries to promote http up if possible. even if you don't feel you're serving risky content, you don't know who's looking at your site. could be someone in a country where what you're doing is illegal, and they can be spied on if unencrypted. * IM - off-the-record messaging (OTR), encrypts your communicatoins even if you're talking through google or yahoo or whoever. 2. Data at rest: stuff that's stored on any of your media, on all your devices, in your pocket and in the cloud. what can happen? * lose it * stolen (prolly just for profit) * seized by law enforcement. if you're arrested, they pop your iphone into their dock and it sucks every bit of info off it. illegal search and seizure, but they're still doing it. need to encrypt your data so that someone accessing it still can't read it. * if in the cloud, you just have no idea what kind of access someone might get. but look for encryption capabilities on your cloud there. but security of your data is also about choosing your provider, someone that cares and will fight to protect your data, not just roll over to a subpoena. 3. Operational security: put passwords on everything, change them often, make them strong. also policies on what data leaves the office. 4. Physical security: you can do everything else right, but if the door's unlocked, or don't change locks after losing disgruntled employee, or you don't know where your backups are or they're unencrypted, the rest is for nought. ==how to actually move over to encryption?== * back up, back up, back up * try linuxmint... and it's non-trivial, but good strategy is for one brave committed soul to try it out, use two laptops for a while, and make the final switch when ready * aspiration has a linuxmint laptop loaner program for this purpose * the first thing that happens on power up, before anything boots, is your password to the encrypted volume. from there you're just using it the same as always. crossing borders is a critical danger point for security - needs lots of self education and precaution. what type of data are surveillers most interested in? social graphing. your communications network profile identifies you as uniquely as anything else in the world short of DNA. LEAP: leap.se Leap Encrypted Activist Platform: trying to hide the social graphi inside of encryption, ie. hiding even whom you're talking to (normally visible even if contents are encrypted) ==on specific questions:== * mobile app with big data: make sure security concerns are part of the conversation from the start. makes it work much better, and be much cheaper. data minimilism - only collect what you actually need. and think about sunsetting data after no longer needed, and anonymizing any data you can. * what is safe to download? nothing. operate from a frame of distrust. every piece of software you install increases your vulnerability. if you want to be scared, look up fin fisher on wikipedia. on the other hand, citizen lab out of toronto is studying and documenting the evil bastards. and on the bad side again, bluecoat routers. a lot of games are "surveillance apps", ie. for advertising, not law enforcement. * your phone has a whole nother back-end OS on the radio chip that you can't touch * top concerns: unpatched CMSes and unpatched everything. so #1 keep everything current. #2 is just throwing all your data up on random corporate clouds who do not care about you, and are in fact tied to government. can get the data, but also can ust block your access to it. what about encrypted voice? skype is evil, always has been but even more now that it's inside microsoft. in skype chats, any link you put to anything online will be opened and downloaded by micorosoft. promising new thing coming out, jitsy, runs in a browser but only in chrome, which is spyware.

Our agenda Philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities. Sessions at Aspirations have particular traits; we de-emphasize presentations and lecture, and instead focus on "break-out" sessions that are self-organized whenever possible.

Understand from stakeholders what causes them the most pain or what needs are not met within your website and try to make it better. Figure out points of crisis/injury and identify points of need. Passion – there are always a group of people that care about what you’re working on. So you want to tape into that and give voice to the people that are feeling what you’re feeling. Question – how do you build a sense of shared ownership and, therefore, accountability- that’s a question that you have to ask as you build your online presence. NOTE- When you tap into their passions - always give people a small amount of ownership and then make them give more. Develop small, well-defined asks. Fame – weave your base and your community into your narrative. Orgs are in a paradigm where they have to talk about themselves and their successes for funding purposes. How can we turn this around and highlight people in your network that are doing amazing work around the issues that you’re collectively working on. Making people part of your narrative in a noncommittal way through social media gives them “fame” and by default engages them more. PAIN- Motivation, what are their points of strength and what encourages them. Existential loneliness. PASSION- Tap into by giving people a role in your website. PDF forms. Well defined asks of action. FAME- weave your community into your organizing. Giving communities online fame. Draw attention to what is online. FUN- celebration of life. Convey the joy and emotion in what you're doing. Make our offline work relevant to our online network. Participate for THEM! So they'll participate for YOU. At staff meetings thank them for giving feedback. Shared ownership. Get everyone's voices What are useful bridging activities (for people that have an “offline” and “online” network) – how do make what’s happening offline in your work relevant to your online audience. If you want people to come to your protest – you better have gone to a couple of protests. Value creation conversation - if you can’t describe the way in which you are giving value to groups in your network, you can’t have the expectation that they will give back and support your needs. Using the jpeg – posting people’s pictures on the Internet invokes the feeling of getting your name or picture in the local paper. It builds excitement, engagement, ownership. Fun – you must convey the joy in what you are doing, even when you are working on serious issues. Look for the celebration of life or paint a narrative around what happens when your message/movement works. Build a transactional relationship that highlights the best case scenario and shows what the world can be – based on what actions that you want people to take. Building a website with your staff Make it a participatory process that brings in your staff across programs in order to zero in on what they need and what they envision. Use that knowledge to create a website that works. These are the people that are connected to your audience and knows what they are gravitating to and what areas of the website that they use. Have a process that gets everyone’s voice onto the website and bring their voices out to the fore. Focus on two phases – creation of content by staff (where you take on the role of being the sole poster) – focus on “content coaching” Questions/observations that you have to consider when developing blogging/content for website? Do you want one voice or diversity of voices? How can you make sure your website is consistent with your values composition? How do you ensure consistency and quality – particularly when you have various bloggers? How do you ensure that content is going up regularly and is fresh and timely? How do you make sure that you are engaging your audiences and highlighting them – while still uplifting your work? Pin down your audiences – and make sure that you are speaking to them first. NOTE – you should not have more than three audiences. Create one sentence descriptions or profiles of your audiences and lay out how they relate to the website and how they will go through the website E-Newsletter Q: Which tool do you use? Vertical Response; MailChimp (prettiest templates but hardest to customize templates); Constant Contact; Salsa It takes a long time – allocate 10-20 hours to do a newsletter but it can take to 3 to 4 days HTML coding is different in every browser and program (there’s no standard right now) - notice that it will look different and you should test that as much as possible to make sure that it looks how you want it to look. If you have a long newsletter (longer than two pages) you should have a table of contents at the beginning of the newsletter. 1998 HTML coding/ that is the only type of coding that’s allowed to be used for newsletters and email. Is the email blasting worth the time? Every email (including newsletters) should be trying to get people to do something and you have to figure out what the ask is behind the email and strategically how you will get that ask in. It’s not a megaphone that you use to tell people how amazing you are. Keep in mind that a lot people don’t load pictures, so in this case your picture should tell your story – or be the only thing that tells your story – because it might be lost. Pictures in enewsletter – make sure that it is the size you want it to be BEFORE you upload it into the email. If you are doing an e-newsletter, pick a really targeted audience (one segment of your list) – and focus on generating your content around them. Stay above the fold – huge headers are a waste of time. Try A/B testing with email blasts – try testing your e-newsletter subject title and see which headline was more popular.

Having a website designed to build e-mail list. Sign up option on every website page. If you have multiple campaigns, people come to your site through diff pages – core list building best practice. # FB has a habit of changing things without warning. Hard to make process modifications. Use FB as a e-mail building tool – have them sign up to a list on the FB. # Search engine optimization ===Building relationship=== # Pace, frequency of communication, e-newsletter. # Vital statistic of the e-list. Unsubscribe rate. How are you doing with the fragile relationships? # Constant Contact – inflates click ratio # For e-newsletters, once/monthly is a good frequency. Weekly newsletters are not optimal – unsubscribe rates usually go up. ===Getting action=== # Build a predictable arc of engagement. Consistently set expectations. # Set expectation of a key milestone # Update on the milestones – build engagement , investment # Thanks for taking action (and tell them how their action impacted). Declare success, no matter what. Online petitions are important for list-building tool – you want people to sign up to get your e-mail, petitions. '''Online template''': 3 templates with button language # Action Alert (Take Action) # E-newsletter # Fundraising (Donate) How to do a call in action – timeline. 8, 6, 4 and 2 weeks (Arnold to send ppt) Putting a call to action in an e-newsletter is not the best practice. Best to do it as a stand alone Action Alert. Cross-client incompatibility: Mail chimp has a lot of good analytics and features, ad work well across different browsers. If an org is working on multiple campaigns simultaneously, need to inform the audience (coherent framework of advocacy ) , so mailing list is not confused with successive e-mails discussing/urging action on different issues. General timeline of a campaign 3 months M + R Strategic: 2012 eNonProfit Benchmark Study report. http://www.mrss.com/ On your website, do not ever make people sign-up just so they can download content you want them to read. Place a “Subscribe” box for e-mail on every page, but do not coerce people to sign up. Good e- campaigns – Ella Baker, Greenlining, MoveOn, Rainforest Action Network AB testing is essential to find out what works for your audience. Test to find the best time for click rates.

(a film, a piece of sculpture, album release, etc.) * How are you raising money via other means? * WHY are you choosing crowdfunding? (Don't say, "Because it's easy...") * Are you prepared to fully commit yourself to a campaign (time, energy, enthusiasm, skills...)? * Have you done your research on what platform fits you/your project best? * Have you planned how long it will take for your project/campaign (planning, execution follow up)? =Planning= ==Goal== * Does your project have a clear goal that you can clearly and specifically define? ==Money== * Can you clearly state how the money will be spent? * Have you carefully planned and budgeted the exact amount you need, including reward costs? * Make it easy for people to donate: checks, PayPal, credit cards (use smartphone hardware like Square). ==Team== * Don't go it alone! Create a team of support, including technical support (e.g., an editor for written content, someone to shoot and edit a video, etc.). * AND don't forget about emotional support when you're biting your nails or feel too tired to go on... ==People/Fans== * Who is your audience of fans/funders and how do you plan to reach them (social media? Text? Email? Phone? Events?)? * How many social media followers do you have and how engaged are they? ==Rewards/Incentives== * Minor incentive/reward: people are not donating to receive a reward. The incentive to donate comes from a supportive/emotional/social place - the reward is secondary. * Major incentive/reward: people mainly donate to get a reward, small or big * Plan your rewards accordingly in terms of time and money (for example, if a reward is to receive a sketch related to your art show). ==Images== * Create campaign images that are compelling and professional, as they'll most likely be all over the campaign platform, social media, etc. * Create a video that's no longer than 3 minutes - doesn't need to be professional, but needs to tell your story and appeal to potential donors. =Strategy= ==Email== * Use an e-newsletter service like MailChimp or Vertical Response (both are reasonable re: cost) to professionalize your email, guarantee delivery and deal with spam and unsubscribes. * Email regularly, but not too often. ==Facebook== * Create a Facebook event for your project. * Create a Facebook page for your organization or your creative business. * Spread the word via your event, page, and personal pages of everyone on your team.

Our philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities. Sessions at Aspirations have particular traits; we de-emphasize presentations and lecture, and instead focus on "break-out" sessions that are self-organized whenever possible.

Sometime keeping data minimal offers a cleaner and nicer look. Data is incredibly important to the infographic. White space and color palette is important. Spacing is hugely important!!! It’s good to figure out roughly how you want things to look Steps: story/ call to action/ who is the audience/ where is it going to seen? Data is incredibly important to the infographic. Sketch sketch sketch !!!!!! It’s really good to talk things out and work through a first draft of an infographic.

How to educate people on basic security technology. 2. Users don't have a sense of what information is sensative. 3. Don't know enough about it. Work with a lot of youth. 4. Build websites and don't know what information is vulnerable. Facilitate technical gatherings. Facilitate human rights technology gatherings. Security, privacy, documentation, communication all fall under human rights tech. It is a pervasive topic and few people have a frame for talking about it. Constructive set of frames besides fearmongering. Tor allows you to browse the web anonymously. Internet doesn't know where that request came from. Two crises, people on NGO side don't speak any of this. And tech folks are so in the weeds, they have no language for talking with the NGO's. They are not doing it in benevolent ways. We're trying to bust open the market for security training. Not enough system administrators and security mentors. Security auditing; not enough auditors. We're trying to stay grounded in the nonprofit needs. Has to be relevant to attendees at CA Tech Fest. It's not about the technology. Two other bigger factors in thinking through security for organizations: human factor (organizational culture and norms) and individual factor. I feel bad for dentists, they tell everyone to floss and such a few percent of people floss. Security falls into that same category; know they should do it but don't do it. Have to start from organizational culture. Raise commitment to security through accountability. Explain to people how their bad practices are going to get other people hurt. Multiple nonprofits in the central valley who have put personal data on undocumented folks in Google Docs. Unethical protocol to put personal information in a corporate store. Nobody thinks that's private data anymore. Think before you put data in the cloud. Convey accountability. Dialog; just start them talking about it. Process. Technology needs to be updated. If you as an organization need someone to keep an eye on security bugs and someone owns updating. Process for addressing it. Anything else like firewalls are worthless. Staying ahead of security is impossible. Minimize and reduce risk with processes. Backup. Astounding to us how few nonprofits have backup. Backup checklist. If your site does get compromised, how are you going to restore it? Wordpress allows you to export the entire site and then redeploy it relatively easily. Try to get people to think about these processes. Another example is getting people to think about laptops and phones when they leave the office. At Aspiration, phones should have no organizational information on it. No emails. Police can pull all information in ten seconds to a police drive. Heaven forbid you're organizing a protest across state lines. Think about the organizational process that sets organizational norms around encrypting phones, passwords on phones, etc. A lot of people have local copies of their entire server. Processes don't mean everyone is going to follow them, but it does start people thinking about norms and practices. Encrypted hard drive when shut down is about as close to a brick as you're going to get. If it's encrypted, all sorts of interesting law kicks that makes it harder for them to access that information. Tools. Not an easy solution. But good to think about best practices. Tor broswer; download and install on any computer. Learn how to use it. Learn when it works and when it doesn't. We all know we're being studyied for our search results. Becoming a smarter activists, do all of your searching in Tor browser. You don't want to practice the tools you need in crisis when you're in crisis. You want to know how to use it before then. Off the Record Messaging (OTR). I can use all the evil corporate tools and the message is scrambled when going through the corporate infrastructure. Encrypt email. Not easy, but doable. Ultimate act of solidarity. Start sending encrypted email all the time. You can't just use encryption for suspicious activity. Start with the human factors and org factors, start with policies, and then incrementally adopt the tools. Most telling thing about Snowden is that all end points are compromised. Don't ever make the mistake of thinking that anything you do is secure. Keep the cost of surveilling higher by encrypting. Yahoo refuses to encrypt web traffic by default. Google to their credit tries to encrypt things. Idea that we are trying to keep the cost of surveillance high, that is the ultimate thing we as activists. Firefox phone aspires to have privacy baked into it with a new operating system. User centric paradymn, not a corporate centric paradym. So everything is encrypted; which doesn't make it secure, but makes it harder to access. Apps are one of the biggest mistakes activists have made. Wrote client software back in the day. Hotmail was the first webscale software as a service. Along comes Apple and the iTunes store and we went two or three giant steps back. Rather than getting our functionality through the browser, we have to get Apple's approval to run a piece of software from their store? Apple iTunes store bans all free and open source software. Apps validate a corporate control paradymn of asking the man for permission to put code on your machine and apps then spy on you. If at all possible, do everything through browser based web. Apps require permission to use audio, and other hardware. Nathan Freedas wrote Orbot. Anonymity on the phone is an unsolved problem. Two complete operating systems on a phone. Baseband layer on the phone, complete separate microprocessor, etc. completely controllable. Sell out move to own an iPhone. Have to be able to take the battery out. Security in NGO's. Most critical piece of data the NSA wants: social graph. All the places were you have an ID and someone else has an ID is more uniquely identifying than your fingerprint. If you get off the grid and then come back, you only have to make 2 phone calls to be identified: your mom and your best friend. Nobody else would call those two people. In a pool of 16,000 people, it only took 4 pings to figure out who you were based on your movement. Apps magnify risk exposure. Guardian Project: most important project. Social justice analysis: service to causes. Suppose you are filming a human rights violation, you can film it, before you upload it to YouTube, you can tell it who to blurr out. So you can blur out everyone except for the authority figures. They made Obscuracam core functionality in YouTube. They're solving real world use cases. What we need to be humble to: which of us has data that is dangerous to our allies. We can't know the permutative implications of how our data is being used. HTTPS Everywhere: defaults to encrypted version of website if it exists. Act of solidarity to have SSl and force encryption on your site. Assume your site is compromised. Riseup deletes server logs after 3 minutes. No subpoenable data. And encrypted servers. Piwick stores the analytics data locally. Websites are basically a public place. Don't have a lot of supporter data. Put supporter data on a separate server from your CMS. Do you have the financial resouces to do that? Yeah, you should. Activists feel guilt if they do anything proactive. Schneier analysis doesn't sell. Organic movement got people to worry in the 1970's about what we're putting into the body. Got people to think not just about what was going into their body, but where it was coming from. Want people to have a similar self awareness about security. Kind of like dietary planning; I'm going to eat what I can find next week when I'm hungry. Get them the general rules they need to be secure themselves. Security analysis is always being done in a way that is not empowering. Shrinking the attack surface is a win. Problem with this strategy is surveillance will cost more and it will get more money, but we can't let them have this information without a fight. For the organizations dealing with vulnerable populations, do you really need that data? Can you use a QR code? Can they keep their personal information on their phone? Assume every bite on your web server is public data. There are so many known exploits. To presume fundraising is a justification for collecting so much data, is wrong. I can tell you 5 domains that if taken offline, progressive movement would be halted. If you're an idiot if you don't have a script that gets a local copy of your supporter data once a week. Copying an encrypted blob to Amazon. Much better to use YouTube because the government is not going to shut down Flickr unless they really have to because people use these services to look at cute cats. Nobody plans for plan B let alone plan C. More and more people are using Salesforce and they will screw nonprofits over so quickly when the time comes. Have to have a plan for when they take that offline. Wish there was a timelapse showing the consequences of having shared all these photos and things about themselves since they were young. If they were just posting photos of themselves that'd be one thing. You messing up someone else's future. Unsolved: attorney client privledge. At the point that you are using Gmail, third party priciple says your attorney client privledge is subverted. When you put stuff on Google Apps, they can change the terms at any point and you give them permission to read all your stuff. Imagine Raytheon buys Google. Laws for search and seziure tends to have state level implications. No proper nounds in sensative emails. Assume everything you communicate electronically is public record. A lot like talking about safe sex in the 80's. Checklists for protecting your personal information.

So make sure that your developer is using well established industry standard themes or frame works Woo themes, twitter bootstrap ===Theme forest and downloading custom themes=== Think about whether is meets your needs and will be meet your needs in the future. If you want to change something simple it can often take a very long time to change a complicated bloated theme. However, if the theme is more simply, elegantly written it can be much easer to change to meet your needs. So have someone take a look at the code. however if you see a theme you like use it wrap-bootstrap is a general website themes. Just html and css themes. You can just load them up on wordpress , but it can be much less expensive to take a template like that and make it work for your wordpress site. Look for a template that fits your content. There are themes that purport to let you do anything you want.

Excel doesn't seem manageable anymore. * How to have happy clients and developers is still a bit of a mystery. * Did project management pretty poorly; hard to stay within budget. * Seen many projects hit predictable pitfalls. ==Things to watch out for or how to do it right?== * Project managers know what needs to happen, when, who needs to do something. * Someone needs to own the process, but that person can be different than the people doing the work that moves the project forward. * On schedule, on budget, on function. * If you try to add more features, it's going to cost more. # Projects come in late # Don't do what they are supposed do # All budgets bust Hard to estimate exactly what things are going to cost before you dig into the work. When you get quote, ask developers what does that quote mean, what's likely to change it? ==Biggest anti-patterns== #Decision making process fails : People we were talking to were really happy, but then their ED was not happy. ED clearly needed to be part of the decision making process. Stakeholders who needed to be involved at all times were not. Can also go in the oppposite side of the spectrum, where the entire staff is arguing about all the details down to the button colors. In your organization, figure out who the stakeholders are that need to be involved. So there aren't these surprises down the road. Choosing points of contact can be helpful. But the point of contact has to know who they need to get approval from before responding. #Everything is as important as everything else : We list out all the features. Clients have to put a number of what to work on first. If we ran out of budget, what can drop off. If nothing can drop off, make sure you have unlimited resources. As they see the timeline, budget, invoices, etc. can compare it to this list and reprioritize along the way. When you try to do everything all at once, money gets spent all at once. : Back in the day, migrations weren't a thing. Now you have migration. When you get your content out of your current site and put it into your new site, the structure is not exactly the same. There have to be transformations. If you want an automated content migration, expect that to be a big line item. Can take a lot of trial and error. : Design and development disconnect. If you hire a designer who is not doing the develpment, make sure those people are talking. Make sure designers know how to design for the web. Design can cost different amounts and can imply functionality in their design. : Project slowdown. Organizations are super busy, doing amazing work, their mission is more important than their website. To meet their mission they have to put their breaks on the tech project. The longer you put the breaks on a project, the most expensive it gets to keep it going or pick it back up. Try to put the breaks on it in an orderly way. Ask the developers how we can take a break in the least damaging way. ---- Sarah Often take clients who are very injured by past vendor relationships. We don't make any guarantees up front and don't give a quote. Try to engage people in two week chunks. Will have a discovery workshop to figure out who are the stakeholders. On day one, we have our kickoff meeting with developer and client. Write out stickynotes of all the features we want to build. You always have epics like "I want a blog." And break those bigger tasks into specific individual tasks. Developers make a rough estimate of how difficult something is. Come back and the client does the prioritization or ordering. Developers just start at the top and work down the list. Start delivering immediately. Goes through internal testing first. Client gets best value if they are actively testing. Keep moving tickets through this system. 15 minute check in each morning with the client. Demo at the end of the two week block. Retrospective at the end: what went well, what didn't go well. Bill every two weeks. You can take it or leave it. You can say, this is great, we're done here. Or you can start a new 2 weeks. How do nonprofits feel about this? Works for some nonprofits. Nonprofit point person really has to own it. Clients feel a lot of ownership over. A lot of nonprofits won't start, though, if they can't get board approval for an estimate. We focus our estimates on the goals rather than features. Ask clients not to hide your budget. Compare quotes from different vendors. Estimate based on their wishlist. Agile is about dealing with the tradeoffs in the moment. Phases and minimum viable products are also key strategies.

David from CPEHN: * Just redid our website * We had a website built in 2003 with a custom content management system, developed by that developer; that person left, she was the only one that could fix the CMS, so it was getting old statle and buggy; only worked in in IE6 or god knows what. * That's the danger with a custom site--the people who built it will leave, you'll be left in the lurch. Went with an open source platform, Drupal or WordPress, so they could bring in someone else to work with it if their original developer bailed. * Wanted a more dynamic site. * Met with Aspiration and Gunner; they helped CPEHN with the process. * Redoing the website is in addition to your usual work, need to fit it in. Wanted to do the process well but do it efficiently. * Aspiration helped them figure out an RFP, make sure CPEHN knew what they wanted, make sure the developer had all the info they needed from the start. * First step: identify your constituents. ** Example: teens who participate in drop-in program, donors who come to the site, the community. Primary audiences: donors, funders, local community. The youth might eventually use the website too, though probably through Facebook or Twitter. * Each audience might use the site in very different ways, but you want a site that speaks to and appeals to all audiences. * CPEHN broke down who's coming to the website, who they want to come, how they want them to use it. ** Primary audience: community-based health organizations working with people of color; donors and funders; people looking for data and resources. * They had to prioritize the hierarchy of different audiences. Show what you do, target your primary audience, hopefully other audiences (esp donors and funders) will get something out of it. * Next step: user stories. How are people using the site? How do you want them to use the site? ** Advocates are coming from advocacy information. Want to get them info on ongoing legislation, have it be searchable by county. ** Write out what you want people to do on your site, processes for how they do it. ** Those user stories are transformed into the RFP. You don't have to think about the "how," that's the developer's job; your responsibility is to figure out what you want. ** The more that you can provide up front about what you want the site to do and who it should serve, the better. ** Staff should also be included in user stories; what does the staff want to be able to do with the site, and how? E.g. "Enter in all policy info, tag it so it can be searched by category." ** Try to only use active verbs in your user stories! Focus on the user doing things on the website. * What's the value your site gives to people? What makes them want to come back to your website for the third time? Become a trusted source of information. * If it's a static page, they're not gonna come back. How do you get folks to return, make the site valuable to them? * CPEHN can share the RFP they came up with after going through this process. * Had a couple of conversations with Gunner; transferred all the user stories and priorities into an RFP. * You don't have to decide on Drupal or WordPress ahead of time; the developers will tell you what they work with and how they see themselves developing what you need on their system. * (Discussion of platforms like Squarespace or Google Sites, different hosting options, ongoing support and maintenance for sites built in Drupal and WordPress.) * Aspiration folks are down to help organizations make good choices! They can help you evaluate proposals that people are submitting and tell you if you're getting ripped off or not, give you lists of people that are "righteous." * You figure out all the stuff above and put it into an RFP; developers send proposals back describing how they'll approach the project. * CPEHN also sent out an email to their whole list saying they were creating a new website and asking for help; got some super-advocates, a group of 10 or so folks to provide feedback on the website, how they use the site. Maybe one person for each different audience or user story that you identified. * Keep staff involve, you want their buy-in for the new site. * Responsiveness is important! Make sure that's from your RFP. * Get your developers to provide training and/or documentation on your site.

You are facilitative leaders, get the best out of everybody. You are not miracle workers or controllers. You are not here to * Key: accountability and transparency * Great tools: the more simple the less likely it is to be hated. Base camp is simple which makes it impossible for it to fail by non-compliance. ==A Project Management Tool Should:== * Allow you to set milestones * Say who's accountable for it * Turn red when dates are missed/email notification Nothing should be done without value. People will not do stuff for the sake of doing it, relate the story of how/why this is useful. ==How to hold people accountable:== * Make sure your project goal is clear * Know what the individual accountability is towards goal * Have document clearly explain this in no ambiguous terms * Don't "voluntell" people for the the job, discuss the aspects in clear terms and get by-in * Manager is the love bringer not the enforcer ==Check-ins== * Weekly meetings are best timing * Goals fail when not tied to checkin * Base camp is tied to workflow/checking * Do the MVP of short tight meetings work * Know when is something needs to be offline * Have weekly checkin but if not needed we cancel it ==Other tips== * All things in life need to be conveyed by project managers by giving value for every ask * Understanding all stakeholders needs/ values/ motivations and convey to them differently * Commit to working toward that value * "I hear you, I hear you would like to get to x, I would like to help you get there too. For x we need y" * Project managers use tension and aversion sparingly, guilt * Lift up the winners, overall narrative of we're winning * Work with the elegant silent fails * Instead of "I know cost-benefit," try to get people who are difficult to do the minimum and deprioritize their needs if they are not delivering ==What if you are managing someone in a different org?== * First never say "managing" to partner orgs * Need to have transparency layer * Perhaps online transparency tool * Experienced project manager has all to-dos in an open spot not behind your organizational boundary * Really clearly define accountability * Project managers live and die on the clarity of deliverables Must be in writing Meeting notes are key Never agree on deliverables just in conversation ==Project managers 101== * Write down the story of how we get to done * Many new project managers freestyle * We need an asset path: what we will make to get to the thing * What each thing is specifically * Front load complexity * Use MVP * Leave the fluffy stuff/pretty stuff til the end ==How to manage Funders need/ high maintenance funders== * really account for the costs of those funders: low morale, loss of respect * talk to funders as peers not as better than you, you are not their hired help * be transparent and have a conversation early about when they can have input * name the potential issues out right, evoke people that don't exist (we had a FUNDER that...)

This will also be helped by the exercises below. ==Feeling your chi== * Rub your palms together quickly with your wrists near your torso. * Fingers can be intertwined or pushed away from each other. * After you've rubbed them together for some time, pull them apart and feel the magnetic pull of the chi bringing your hands back together. * Now touch, rub, or tap areas of pain or tension to send healing energy there. ==Rubbing your ears== * In Chinese acupuncture and acupressure, all parts of the body can be reached through the ear. * After focusing chi in your hands with the exercise above, gently pinch and tug your ear lobes with your thumb and forefinger. * Pull your ears straight out away from your head. * Rub the area of the fold behind your ears (the part your parents told you to wash) ==Rubbing your stomach== * First focus energy in your hands using the exercise above. * Use one hand or both (one on top of the other) and rub in a circular, clockwise motion. * This follows the direction of the large intestine and will aid in digestion. ==Rubbing your feet== * Again, rub your hands together first and feel your chi. * Rub in the direction from your ankle to the tips of your toes. * Shake off the bad energy from the tips of your fingers. * Rub between your toes as well. * Notice the instant different in color between your feet after you rub the first foot.

Most are not organized; sometimes there are hacker organizations but they tend to be very loose, not specific; not trying to destroy you specifically. Working with sensitive communities, e.g. undocumented immigrants, makes you more of a target; if you have a list of contacts in Google Docs, ICE will get their hands on it. Important to maintain security in order to protect the communities you want to work with. ==Methods for security== * Data level, e.g. your computer ** If you're connected to the internet and someone has a backdoor to your system, they will be able to access your files and read anything that's there; caveat with some backdoor viruses, even if you think your internet is off they can activate it remotely without your knowledge. Turn on your webcam or microphone without your knowledge, eavesdrop on conversations. E.g. Finfisher/Finspy--take complete control of your entire computer, record keystrokes, etc. * To protect yourself against risks: ** Don't be the weakest link. You're only as secure as the least secure part of your system. If you're sending someone emails over http, and neither you nor them takes any measure to use HTTPS/SSL, because email is encrypted while it goes across the wire (verifies that the end server is who they say they are.) ** If someone access a website or sends email using http, their data is totally visible ** OTR chat: same end-to-end encryption; your instant message is encrypted before it goes out using keys, decrypted at the end. ** If you're using HTTP with OTR, the message AND the connection are encrypted ** proxy settings: messages/data goes from your computer through other servers so your ** HTTPS: connection is scrambled when it goes out until it reaches the endpoint *** every character has a four-bit numerical binary encoding (0000, 0001, 0011, 0057, etc) *** encryption multiples each four-bit numerical binary encoding by a huge number, which is your encryption key; in order to decrypt it, you need to divide the large number *** two different sets of keys: private and public. You only have to share your public key; while the public key lets you encrypt a message to a person, it doesn't give you the data you need to decrypt a message sent to them--their private key. ** Public and private keys are relevant to communications since it involves two sets of keys ** When you encrypt a filesystem or individual files, you don't need two keys, don't need a public key; it's local, you're the only person using it. You give it a passphrase in order to reveal the private key, which you're never actually shown. * TrueCrypt = encrypted folders; anything you drag in is automatically encrypted and reasonably safe * If you're more paranoid, you can harden your laptop; involve encrypting your hard drive. Doesn't protect you from connection attacks, but protects the data on your computer when it's off; someone can't use your computer or access the files without your computer. ==Q & A== ===What's the arc of your conversation as Aspiration about security? How do you take someone through risk assessment?=== * It's a major challenge; if people don't perceive a risk they won't change their behavior. * If it's framed in a way that you're only as strong as the weakest link, then people might be more interested; if they have allies that work in sensitive material or risky behavior, chances are they're not going to be as willing to share information with you if you're not secure; you can't fully engage with them without compromising their movement as a whole. ===How do you make it easy for average organizations to be more secure?=== * Recommend easy software solutions to enhance security: ** Security-in-a-box from Tactical Tech: hands-on how-to guides for setting up encryption, be secure, make sure mobile devices are secure ** Guardian Project: open source mobile security software, e.g. encrypted VoIP ** TOR ** go with Internet service providers that a) take proper security measures and b) will fight for you. ** Checking for malware: ClamAV, ClamXAV, AVG, Gibberbot (for Android phones) ** CSipSimple (Android, Adium, Pidgin), Jitsi: VoIP client and Ostel = VoIP telephone server: provides each person with a numerical code so you can verify you have the same code and it's actually encrypted, not tampered with ** Little Snitch (Mac) or other equivalents: [[Category: 2013 Sacramento]][[Category:Security Privacy and Encryption]] 3a860b513fc28487367ed1cec017f3a521115108 0 31 461 62 2016-05-04T21:03:43Z Willow 8 wikitext text/x-wiki * Volunteer Management Software (free) - volunteerspot.com/* [[Category: 2013 Sacramento]][[Category:Social dynamics]] 2827bed98b31096d38950b9263efbdc0d9814aaa 0 27 462 54 2016-05-04T21:03:58Z Willow 8 wikitext text/x-wiki ==Website Development & Re-Development == Talk to '''Aspiration''' about how to build the website.

''Discussing how to create/revamp website'' * '''Jack''': web dev, wants to listen to and learn from folks to understand what questions nonprofits have * '''Laura''': dancer, choreographer - wants a website, for 20 years, uses FB but now wants something that's a home for her, and FB is not that space; big fear is that it's expensive to update it, how can she use a website that's quick and easy * '''Angela''': BHC - use Google Sites right now, want to learn how to do more with it, use Wordpress maybe; Wild River - want something that's easier to use than Joomla and possible to do on her own * '''Jane'''t - has Flash site but it's too hard to update (need Dreamweaver), has tried Wordpress * '''Kaitlin''': working for 2 orgs; Env Justice Coalition - have WP websites at 2 orgs, have someone working on websites but need help with it ==Q & A Discussion== ''''Frame'''': ''it's so easy to go first to the "technology stack" - it's natural to get excited about the technology and the features it enables. This is usually not the best place to start. A website should be about who it's for and what it's trying to communicate.'' Do some reconnaissance and brainstorming about these questions - what will the typical user do when they come to the website; what should my org/business need to communicate Determine for each audience what they're coming for, and make sure your website first gives them what they want, and then ask them for what you need from them As part of this process, create a "persona" - write a profile for the typical audience member, what's their name, where do they work, etc. ;Question - how do you prioritize the different audience members coming to your website? For example, some people want to see detailed 20 page reports, vs someone who's just checking out the website for the first time * Create a list of goals and ensure that they are matched to the needs of your audience. * Think about the relative likelihood that each audience segment will actually come to the website * Is there a way of going from a Flash website to another technology, that doesn't require starting from scratch? It's doubtful and you're better served in the long run to start from scratch. * Highly recommended that you use some kind of, preferably open source, CMS - there are several out there, the 3 biggest are # Joomla, # Drupal and # WordPress. '''Run down on these 3:''' #Wordpress: People find the interface relatively easy to use; developers have built it in a way that it's much harder to "break the site" on your own. #*WP tends to have a large number of plug-ins/themes that are free and paid, which you can experiment with, without having to pay anyone else. When you do this, find an advisor or consultant who can review your choices and help you evaluate the effectiveness of using these themes. #*Check out Wordpress.com - it's a hosted service that keeps your site online for you. #Drupal: Folks say that it has a steeper learning curve, also for the developers who are putting it together. (Jack uses WordPress for her blog; it's very good for a list of content with categories; when there have to be lots of different types of content with many fields, then Drupal is easier in those circumstances) #* Check out DrupalGardens.com #Joomla: Design Action Collective has some experience in this. It's probably the one that's least popular. #* Angela had the experience that doing edits was pretty hard. * Find a trusted advisor who can help you evaluate the different developer or developer firms. *There are clear migration paths from places like Wordpress.com and DrupalGardens.com so that you can pick up your site and move. '''To map out where the costs are:''' # Domain registration # Hosting - this is just storage # Website development - this usually comes bundled along with the first two, or you can install it yourself. ;Question - is it okay to build two different websites, because one is already on a hosting provider and you don't want to move it elsewhere? * One thing to consider is that if you have two different websites, then one of them will probably not show up on Google's search results which could be a problem for you if people use Google to find your site. ;Question - can Wordpress be used for mobile websites? * Any of these systems can be used to build mobile websites. How it actually looks on a mobile device depends on how they have been designed. * The default themes on Wordpress.com is pretty good for viewing on mobile devices. Drupal themes tend to be harder to get to look good on multiple devices. * The word used to describe designs that look good on all types of devices is "responsive" - a "responsive" design means that the same website look good everywhere, and you don't have to build a separate website for mobile devices. ==Let's talk about content.== * It's easy to get someone to design and develop a website but you still have to provide content for your site. Thinking about that beforehand will help you understand what the design of the website should look like. It will help the developers to optimize the site for what they need to do, so: # create sketches and descriptions of where things will be on your site; # find images and videos you want to use that you want to provide to your users. # make sure there's enough content for designers and developers to fill in to the site as they build it # think about what you have real capacity to do - for example, blogs tend to be a very common feature but they also tend to not get used - someone has to update the blog. Think about how important the content is for your organization. * Building in iterative ways is useful - pay to build a few features and then extend the feature set from there. ;Question - can you do user permissions - say, some people can only manage blogs, manage events etc.? * The more granular this gets, the more help you'll need from developers. Drupal's permissioning models are more robust and full-featured - you can have people allowed to add posts but not events and vice-versa, etc. ;Question - if I write a blog post on Wordpress, who sees it and how do people find it? * You can distribute it via your own network on Facebook and other social networks * Figure out what keywords you want to add to your post, especially to your title, that you want people to search for to find your website. * Put your URL everywhere - on your marketing tools, on your business cards, send emails to friends ==Costs== * Jack's firm usually quotes from $5,000 to $15,000 for their typical clients - this includes a process of understanding the client's needs, design and development. * In general, you shouldn't have to pay anyone to update the website after it's built. Make sure that you own everything - the passwords and accounts, the domain name registration, and the storage. It should be possible for the client to lock the developer out, but never possible for it to be the other way round. ==Security and Bug Fixes== * The fewer customizations you've created, the easier that updates can be. ;Question - what are the core skills needed for Wordpress website upkeep? * In Wordpress, there's a way to add new content like a blog post - it's possible to use WordPress pretty easily if you know how to use Microsoft Word - the interface has similar icons that you can use to edit easily without having to know HTML. ;Question - how do you understand that the website is "in the cloud"? * It mostly means that they are not saved on your computer. ;Question - what's GoDaddy? * It's a domain hosting company - they rent out space and a domain name to you. '''Questions''' # References - for prototyping, for persona development # Where to read tutorials on these CMSes? # Wordpress.com; DrupalGardens.com # How do they compare on various "typical" CMS features?

You say, Yes, and compress. *Helps you avoid hitting your cap on whatever online video host you use. *'''Two sites: YouTube and Vimeo.''' *Manny likes Vimeo more because it offers a simpler, cleaner look and less advertising. **Vimeo offers free account and paid account. Free account limits you to 4GB per month; paid is capped at 50GB per month. **Another compression option is to reduce the file size when you export. **Vimeo also has channels, playlists, and themes. **Offers a nice clean page for your organization. **Takes one day to be able to access the video you just uploaded. **Vimeo has a music library available, some of which is free, some of which is paid.

The icebreaker for meetings is to have everyone upload the video to their websites, FB pages, share it with their family, etc. It is effective to have a message, “I worked on this. Please visit it.” *David also adds meta tags. *'''Meta Tags''': some argue they are obsolete, but he thinks they are still useful. He adds meta tags that include, for example, the name of the organization, the name of the supporters, thematic words, etc. *Organizational help: Some organizations have a statewide or national reach. **Manny had the national CEO add a link to the video and local website in an e-mail blast. **Send it to your donors to help them share with their contacts more information about how they are supporting a worthy cause. *Another note on quality video: It is better to have good audio than video. Invest in a good microphone. ===Copyright infringement:=== * Garage band (Mac) is royalty free. **You can use music available on Vimeo music source. *Creativecommons.org also has sound and music. *VideoBlocks also has sound effects. *AudioJungle.com has additional audio that you can use. *RYSE has its own audio production studio that comes from the Beat Studio. **RYSE has a beat instructor.

Audience Assessment: Determine what channels are best to reach different groups. Content will adapt to the medium. 2. Publishing Matrix: Coordinate the different channels that you have—press releases, emails, text messaging, etc—with the content you have. Identifying the best channel for the particular content 3. Message Calendar: Strategically build a story over time to create support for a particular purpose. This could be over a month or a year depending on your purpose, i.e. to get supporters to come out for an event, fundraising drive, etc. Telling a story over time. 4. Tracking & Metrics: Analyzing how well these approaches are working for your org so you can track effectiveness to inform future processes. * Aspirations has built templates (simple spreadsheets in some cases) so that orgs can be more efficient about developing, implementing, and tracking these processes. '''Publishing Matrix:''' This is a spreadsheet that identifies a source of information (event announcement or press release) and all the sources where it can be blasted out. This is what creates a strategic plan for communications. * Prior to creating a publishing matrix an org should have a sense of audience for a particular piece of news before figuring out how it fits in the matrix. * Publishing matrix can be split into separate email lists. The categories should capture what is relevant to the org. Each of these tools is a vehicle for communicating information, and it should fit the content that is being communicated. For example, a website is more formal and static than Facebook. ====Tools Used to Connect:==== * Website * Text * Phone calls * Twitter * FB * E-newsletters * Photos * Panels * Factsheets * Attending Conferences/Networking * Press Releases/Print media * Radio spots * Parties/events * SWAG: Printed tee-shirts and promotional items * Blog * Music * Videos ====Tools Used to Collaborate:==== * Google Docs * Asana * Dropbox * Phone * Email * Skype * Instant Messaging * White Board * Etherpad * Media-Wiki * Text ====Tools Used to Listen: (tools to listen)==== * Dashboard * Twitter * RSS * News stories * Radio * Print news * Blogs * Surveys ====Building a Publishing Matrix==== '''Example:''' 1. Using a survey to capture information—this is contentment development. 2. Determine who you want to share that information with—this is identifying your audience. 3.

Wordpress does it for you, you don't have to worry about that. * Question: can you take a Flash website and turn it into a Wordpress website? ** Content is what's important: look at the structure of how your website is made, take your content, move it to Wordpress. * CMS shouldn't need a techie to add/organize content, BUT you may need a techie/developer to build or design the site in the first place. * What do you want out of a website? ** Our organization has an outdated, haphazardly created website, we need a new one; we want to figure out how to economically set up a structure from the very beginning that will allow us to fill the content and do the operation and maintenance without a tremendous amount of ongoing website. There are fairly sophisticated things that we hope to do (e.g. password-protected content on the site for statewide coalition members.) Are there ways for one of the more simple WordPress sites to do that? * Different kinds of websites: ** Basic informational page ** People sign up for the site, go into password protected website--that's something to talk about with a developer * We won't be able to pay for the entirety of what we want all at once; how do we set that up intelligently, in phases, so you don't have to undo what's done. Suspect that means having an overarching plan with the vision. * How can you allow grassroots, rural members to contribute? ===Domains and hosting=== ** Wordpress and Drupal are free open source software. ** When you buy a domain name, some companies also give you very basic web hosting and website software ** There are other web hosts that let you install your own software, e.g. Drupal and Wordpress--you download the software, install it, and change it the way you want. ** You don't need to go with WordPress.com or DrupalGardens.com; you can host those things elsewhere. * Important to keep a maintenance schedule to keep up with software updates; good practice to check the updates regularly, have a schedule for that. * Updates to basic WordPress or Drupal software ("core software") are easy for end users to do; with more custom built sites and complicated sites, updates can break the site more easily. ===What are the costs for maintenance?=== ** Some developers will leave you set up to do updates yourse;f; be careful of folks who don't give you that information! ** Sometimes you can get folks to donate time to maintain your site! ** One shop's example: maintenance is usually 30 minutes a month ===Case study=== * One organization wants an e-learning system for clients; some folks can't come to a lab to do stuff; they're using Joomla, want to add this feature to the site; have something centralized. ** There are LMS --learning management systems--and course management systems; one is Moodle (open source) ** You can have a website, have a page be a lesson, embed your videos. ===Breaking down websites=== ** Domain name: yournamehere.com or yournamehere.organization ** Hosting: space that you rent on servers where you keep your website files, databases, etc. Can really range in price: from $5/mo to thousands/mo ** Choosing hosting: figure out the website you need, then make sure your host can accommodate that. * Interested in more resources? Are there online assessments to figure out what you need? ** Aspiration has lots of resources on their website; also offer free consulting.

How do you narrow down and focus? * Collaboration is key. * Context can be visually supported rather than explicitly laid out in text. * Looking for language * People may have different kinds of questions: interpret quickly what you're trying to pull. * Does the wording or the imagery come first? It varies. * Decide whether a story needs imagery or should be an infographic. * How to decide what to focus on: trial and error; sketch and doodle, even if you think you can't draw well; train yourself to be brief; get good pens but cheap paper, brainstorm ideas to explore, sketch stories, storyboard. ===Resources=== * Abby VanMuijen's videos on global poverty newscenter.berkeley.edu/2013/04/08/globalpov-art-videos-and-twitter-take-poverty-curriculum-to-the-world/ * Noun Project: a site whose goal is to create icons for every noun than exists. thenounproject.com * Edward Tufte: an example of narowing down story to its most essential components edwardtufte.com * For kids Photo Voice photovoice.org [[Category: 2013 Sacramento]][[Category:Storytelling]] c238e222a66d6e8dd0a2daf091a8bd0ec4a15bef 0 46 482 92 2016-05-04T21:09:16Z Willow 8 wikitext text/x-wiki Materials used as source for this session - aspirationtech.org/files/04_AspirationIntrotoOnlineToolsOrgs.pdf [[Category: 2013 Sacramento]] a809dac42e2e66443ec18cae908d7022b4a8b727 0 38 483 76 2016-05-04T21:09:25Z Willow 8 wikitext text/x-wiki civicrm.org/go/evaluate [[Category: 2013 Sacramento]][[Category:CRM]] 06bd9a7e4550a00624184d470992d51ddeaab801 0 65 484 130 2016-05-04T21:09:35Z Willow 8 wikitext text/x-wiki GreenLining is developing a Social Media Toolkit.

Pleasing. Higher end, want to put the eyes, closer in the chin is in lower. Thirds in Landscapes, use thirds to layout horizons, trees, subjects in landscape. bring horizon line into top third. Sky to ground ratio. Visual representation is combined with subject movement in photo. Framing & cropping -> streamlines the photo to capture most important focus of photo. Event photography is different than planned photographs/arranging subjects. At Events, you’re thinking on your feet. Capture first, then crop. What should be more prominent in the photo? Using colors, visual lines, merges to draw you to the most striking feature and powerful message that you are trying to convey through visual image. High quality cameras are great, but you can take amazing photos with your phone. Especially unanticipated photo opportunities. You can use just about anything as a flash filter. Different filters produce different effects: placing in front of flash, use tissues, red plastic, fingers, clear spoons, etc. Each photo tells its own little story. If you understand the rules enough of good photography layout, you can break the rules for unique and positive effect. Watch for mergers in layout - example: two headed giraffe! Incorporate words within photo imagery. Different effect for varied needs. '''Useful editing apps/available tools:''' *Colorstory *Pixar *InstaFit2 *Repost *Lightroom *VSCO *Snapseed '''Pro-tips:''' *Photo-stance: Physical stance, being still , hands steadied on sides, *timing of breathing *Settings: ISO 200-400 *Shutter speed: 1/200 *Aperture: 1.2 (if possible, if not 1.8) *Tri-Pods are your best friend. Also mono-pods are really versaltile. *GET CREATIVE! You can find an amazing shot anywhere you are. Find beauty and power in your everyday surrounding *Cover your bases: Take all the shots that you need that no-one else is looking for. Ask for forgiveness, not for permission!

One question is what is the purpose of uploading the file onto my computer? **the flies may be time sensitive, easy access Make sure that everything is processed. It is not about where it lands first it is about where it ends up. Do you or your company have a centralized filing system? *Another way to declutter. If you have not moved the file into its correct location then do you really need it? – you can retrieve any info so it not necessary to keep everything, it is possible to get things back from where it came *Change the way you view files there are easy ways to a view your files. It is not necessary to clutter your desktop. if files are managed in the files manager of the computer (Files explorer Microsoft, Finder iOS) *Weekly reviews of your emails and files. Don’t be afraid of deleting file if they are not being moved or used and are more then two weeks old. Programs like Hazel can organize your files for you and you can set your own rules so it is organizing automatedly. *Invest 5-10 minutes a day to organize Doing this will make it easier to find what you need and make you familiar with your files. *Rename your files to make them easier to find If your files names are irrelevant or hard to find rename them. So that you can recognize what it is when you see it. You can use the titles to search in finder or files manager to make it easier *Who is your files manager? – Is there a shared file structure? If you share files in drobox or other online file sharing site there must be only one person to have control and accountability for organizing and finding files. This person should control the structure. *Be Intentional- you must slow down and be intentional with the way you share data and how you store it. *Does it need to be in my Email inbox? Look through your email and declutter all the unused files. If a email is important then save it onto your computer or a file so it is easy to find in the future. *Unsubscribe- “Updated our privacy policy” look for this, this means there may be some unwanted subscriptions you didn’t now about. You can filter emails from email received from “non-humans” *The job is never done- you need to keep at it, you can never truly fail or succeed in organizing your life because it is a continuous process and it requires up keep. *Gmail – in setting you can configure inbox. this decides where email go. You can redirect email into a specified inbox. Purge your unread emails. In Gmail type “is:unread” into search bar at the top and you can see all unread email. *Don’t do notifications- Make sure that you have times that you have set aside to check emails, if a notification comes in you may see it and forget, setting a time s makes sure you check at the same time every day then you can make sure it doesn’t clutter. *Can you do it in under 2 minutes? If it is possible to get a reply done in les then 2 minutes, then do it. If it takes longer then make a to do list. *Do not allow list serves inundate – It is important to keep up with organization, but do not let it stress you. You don’t have to view everything, choose what you want to see and be sure to do it often so you don’t fall behind. You can also use rss feeds to use a different medium so that the list serves do not take space in your email. *Do you need to be notified? Notifications are not necessary. With less notifications you will have less distractions and be able to focus better. b8871e80234c3f6ba9860ab97020a8232063825b 0 180 592 2018-07-05T20:58:15Z Evelyn 10 Created page with "'''There is no right answer on what to use.''' – the best camera you have is the one in your pocket.

Use social media to change the narrative. Dismiss the shame of being a young parent. Making it relatable. Get the conversation going. Negative culture shift currently happening against communities of color during our current political climate. Our president isn’t the problem, he is part of a major problem. Hate and racism isn’t new. We often live in a liberal bubble and forget about the larger picture of our country. Feeling like you have to be one or the other. Culture shift allows us to be somewhere in the middle. Combated negative notions in our communities. Meet people where they are. Challenge people to combat these stereotypes. Get to the humanity of these issues. We should be free to have full control of our lives. Create critical thinking in our communities. Make more resources available. Help people become agents of change in their communities. Ensuring that people have access to adequate and true information. So that they can make informed decisions. It is important to go beyond statistics and data. It is important to humanize issues. White supremacy and capitalism affect and are present in our communities.

Such an understanding helps us address the security risks they pose. Our phones are often a GPS, accelerometer, altimeter, camera, modem, and sometimes even an FM radio! If we were to reduce this to what is practicable, here are 5 immediate steps we can take to increase security on our phones: 1. Lock your phone with a PIN. There are instances, like a casino or heavily surveilled airport, where using a fingerprint makes sense...but largely, if you use a PIN greater six or more digits, you'll prevent a casual intrusion. 2. Encrypt your phone and turn on secondary security on apps when possible. Most versions of iOS/Apple & Android mobile operating systems now come with encryption turned-on out of the box. Double check and if it isn't turned on, turn it on. Some apps, like Signal, allow you to have an app specific password so that if someone breaks the encryption on your phone, they don't have access to your messages in the secured application. 3. Practice greater app security and permissions scrutiny. Does the flashlight app need access to your contacts? Why does your email app need access to SMS? Have a look at these permissions and if they don't make sense, don't grant permissions. Facebook is an app which should get a high degree of scrutiny: it attempts to take all your contact information and, even if you're careful, might take it after an app update. Try to access FB (if you must) through a browser interface. 4. Know your environment and practice phone hygine: if you are engaged in work, even now and then, that could put traditionally targeted populations at risk, practice message hygine! Delete messages and photos that could put folks at risk. Our phones are like filing cabinets that rarely get cleaned out and sometimes what we keep...or forgot we have...can put folks at risk. 5. Understand there are times where having no phone is the best strategy...this doesn't mean get rid of your phone but knowing there are times where an unplugged microwave oven or a faraday bag are your friends to go dark. There's something nefarious afoot when phones no longer have removable batteries. In the end, phone security begins with understanding our phones a little better and taking small practical steps to reduce the harm they can cause in our mission driven work. 4726d2eec91c4714b3e7b4495fc88a73d6e4a511 0 187 612 2019-07-22T19:54:17Z Evelyn 10 Created page with "Technology for multilingual spaces breakout Facilitator: Mago Key Takeaways: *+2 Addressing different ways of using technology across generations and cultures so that no o..." wikitext text/x-wiki Technology for multilingual spaces breakout Facilitator: Mago Key Takeaways: *+2 Addressing different ways of using technology across generations and cultures so that no one is excluded. **Thinking of IT as a language *Not speaking IT language while also working multilingual communities. → funding/time for IT training *+4 Resources + funding for interpretation and interpretation equipment + budgeting for interpretation **Skillsharing + solidarity network **Training for bilingual folks (maybe retired?) to become skilled interpreters *+3 Time/capacity/compensation *+2 Just compensation for interpreters → shifting the dynamic **Systemizing our grant applications → keep interpretation as line item in all programs **Advocating for foundations to have a fund available for orgs to access when interpretation is needed ***Stats and resources about language justice to advocate **Hire staffed interpreters for orgs that have regular interpretation needs *How could Aspiration network advance this issue? **Start by naming it / sharing the story / the systemic need with foundations *What tech resources exist that can support multilingual spaces? **How can technology be of service to facilitating multilingual spaces online specifically? **e.g. webinars → How to pull off simultaneous interpretation online? **Creating multilingual digital networks that can be accessed easily by phone / don’t require a high level of tech skill Go around * Mago - Journalist Learning to embrace my bilingual reality How to create multilingual networks of journalists * Guadalupe - IDPSCA Challenges with language, not just Spanish/English but also tech languages and indigenous languages What are resources to improve our communication? * Shirley Volunteers with API LGBTQ org and there are many different languages represented How to find translators for materials Website tips?

Working with tech challenged Program Managers are very open to any help. * A dedicated I.T. person is new to org. Infrastructure of process and procedures not in place. Security and setup needed. Varies depending upon project and the necessary infrastructure that comes with the project * Agency works in law that cannot be replaced by technology. Using same tech as all law firms. Lawyers who try to empower people themselves by solving problems themselves. ** There is a need for more tech to filter applicants/clients calling & helping people to refer them to the proper agencies. * Consults with non-profits to provide technology services. * Works with non-profits on communication technology. * There is no real funding for what is done but the feeling is empowered. What does everyone hoping to get out of this session? * Need to learn more about efficiency and technology. * Project managers inform of stable tools. * Listen and learn, find what's out there, what alternatives exist that are less expensive. * Learn technology sustainability with Program Managers. * Listen and learn. Relatively new to non-profit space. Obtain feedback of how tech is working for them * Struggling/fascinated by "making the case"/build effective narratives that leads to funders. ** how people go about building narrative that... ** Empowerment piece but depth of projects. Bring in tech that bring in radically different. ** Leadership buy in. Universe of Technology Team: Yesenia, I.T. Manager at UCSC. Jessie, Concept Director. Harrison, Front End. Matt, UX design. Max, UX Researcher. How did you determine next org priority project? * Talk with E-team, give tech perspective, customer interviews. Data management issues and org priority. * Find a sponsor, don't be alone. Iterating and maintaining needs more than one perspective. Someone in a leadership role is powerful from a change management perspective. * Think about training and support broadly. Find tech champions in org. Train the trainers. Enthusiasm makes a difference. They don't have to be a SysAdmin. * What is your strategic plan for org? * Using leadership sponsorship so that you can get ahead of the curve. * What are the internal surprises? * Use a SWOT analysis. * Part of assessment helps determine tech needs * There is the idea that an IT person holds entire knowledge of the world. ** Miscommunication can occur because of this. ** Having a timeline helps. ** Technology committee helps so that one person doesn't hold all of the keys. ** The team makes a decision. ** There can be more than one tech sponsor. ** What's writing for if no one reads it? Sometimes too many meetings already though. How do you determine core needs or goals of project? * The guide recommends having different perspectives, dev, management, infra operations * R&D: program managers will come with problem that is then addressed/implemented. * One of the needs is communication, working with people, establishing identity * Foundational infrastructure lacking readiness. Backups and network access are core needs, come ahead of other less basic needs. Social media grants still need infrastructure to accomplish. * Org needs identity definitions upfront, referrals not direct processing. Sorting technology. * Need a supporter. ED deadlines overridden by program manager emergencies. Which fire do I put out first? Another perspective helps to determine priorities in multiple fires. * 5 minute problems take hours. * Figure out who key stake holders in project, leadership and staff members. * Clear roadmap of implementing technology. * Trying to find right social media platform. * Needs to be a way for a clear plan. * Before implementing tech solution, ** Want to understand what is the project going to look like. ** What capacity in time and day to day in implementing tech. ** Do you have any supporters? ** Who do you need to onboard? ** Who is going to need to know tech going forward? ** Having an understanding of who people are. ** Who you are as an org. ** Measurable stuff needs to be tracked. Some way that information infrastructure might be lacking in categories. * Mitigating catastrophic data loss. * Do we have any gaps in foundation pieces? * Look at foundational needs and prioritize them. How can gaps be addressed. * Org needs more identity as a core need. Have different legal specializations. They don’t' provide legal advice but instead gather people. After knowing project needs, how do you determine technical capacity of your org? * Who is working how many hours/week? * Evaluating time/people over budget. * The app does use algorithms for assessment. * Opportunity considerations, untapped community support, threat considerations. * How much time do people in the org have? Uptake of new tech can be disruptive if work is 60-80 hours/week. How much habit formation can reasonably happen? * Lack of documentation can disrupt continuity should the IT person no longer be available. Would be great to have external resources to bounce ideas off of * Outsourcing to https://alternativeto.net/ * Crowd sourcing reviews of alternative software to whatever you’re looking for * making digestible content of app/map is what is being aimed for KEY TAKEAWAYS * Assessments & finding supporters. * Aloneness is common. * Name roles for projects. Non-techs can provide valuable support. * Idea of a committee is a great idea. can be formed for 1 project and disbanded.

How to keep long term projects from hitting the floor while pursuing short-term needs b. Remove blockers for a team; help accelerate progress c. Speeding discovery and post-mortem phases d. What software programs best allow coordination across organizations 2. Philosophy / principles a. Gilda: What is a project? Anything with a i. Defined term: Beginning & end ii. Defineable elements 1. Product 2. Goal: a deliverable (not merely an update) a. Manageable pieces: sub-projects b. Something that can hold shared work / vs a solo task iii. The time required to support the project management process should not eclipse or antagonize the execution 1. Software presenting the system’s needs… 2. …vs. a user’s needs b. Gunner: Project management = community organizing; mobilizing stakeholders i. Overview 1. Focus on narrative 2. Clarity on process 3. “Pragmatic pessimism”; now that people will let you down, and plan for it ii. Not car washing or closet cleaning 3. Diving in a. Focus on narrative i. Good project managers are communicators able to build consensus b. Clarity on process i. Transparency: who’s doing what + status 1. Unify understanding of the project a. Why are we doing this? b. What are we doing? c. What language are we using? i. Language ambiguity is often a locus of failure (eg “we need to build a website,” or “lunch needs to be spicy”) 2. Discipline about language used can unify sense of purpose ii. Accountability 1. It’s helpful for a tool that changes colors or yells at you when a deadline gets missed; when something is overdue 2. Eg Excel isn’t automated vs. Basecamp turns red when a deadline is missed iii. “Pragmatic pessimism”; now that people will let you down, and plan for it 1. When someone gives you a time estimate for a deliverable; pad it 2. Presume that gaps will emerge in whatever you plan iv. Ensuring adequate resources 1. If adding projects & time to someone’s workload, it can be helpful to take others off a. Gunner: conceptualize a table full of canned vegetables. Adding anything to the table will force something else off b. Federated: give people control over their projects 2. Dynamic deadlines; adjusting expectations to account for hiccups 3. Gantt charts: a standard tool which is more or less useless a. it doesn’t allow for dynamism / slipped deadlines b. They collapse quickly and are tough to rebuild 4. Time & prioritization pairing a. Put each week’s priority at the top; focus on that b. Allow lower priority issues to attain a lower priority c. People generally can’t estimate how much time something will take d. Ideally, move priorities over to next week; it allows more flex in the joints e. Don’t call fire drills unless it’s actually critical; flex in the joints enables greater sustainability f. “Play the long game” v. “Humility to the learning” 1. Good project management embeds learning along the way 2. Recognize it as learning, rather than as inefficiency 3. It’s easy to burn people out a. Crisis in the macrosphere is not a reason to place pressure across the project. b. “Emotional firewall”: don’t let your sense of crisis infect the rest of the team; rational thinking is critical c. Rudyard Kipling: “If you can keep your head while all those about you are losing their’s and blaming you, then you will be an adult.” d. Win at project management by not losing control vi. Core skill: negotiation (eg of deadlines, budget, resources, etc.) c. Tools i. Minimal consumption: Don’t use all the tools 1. The more you use, the more time consuming 2. In Basecamp, Aspiration uses only the calendar + the to do list + file upload 3. Don’t succumb to “Feature underutilization guilt” 4. But also be willing to adopt the features that can be actually helpful in your context ii. Software is designed to addict users 1. Eg phones addict users due to collective expectations 2. Eg project iii. Share affirmation, recognition iv. Channel 1. Pain: catch gaps and 2. Passion 3. Fame: recognize progress and the people who enable it 4. Fun: “this week we have only 6 overdue items, down from 10 last week!” v. Tools can be low tech 1. Eg sticky notes on a calendar 2. Key: everyone needs to use it; it must fit their workflow a. Gunner re “passive-aggressive non-adoption”; users often resist innovations b. The more complicated the tool, the tougher the adoption barrier d. Hosted software tools sometimes get bought or i. Hollywood marriage relationship: assume divorce as a given 1. Vendors lie 2. Consider future acquisition ii. If you can’t get your data out, might not make sense to put your data in 1. Check the export function 2. Interoperability: Test it to make sure that the export is in a useful format a. Try importing it to other platforms b. Major platforms export into an csv, which can be re-imported into a spreadsheet iii. To shift to a new project management platform 1. Finish old projects on the old project management tool a. Migrating project management data might not make sense; a lot of project data expires quickly b. Time to migrate is often unnecessary 2. Launch the new tool with new projects e. What is your information model? i. What is the scope of the information you’re managing ii. How might it be organized? iii. Tools are transient…but processes should transcend the moment iv. Model at the outset how you would extract / export and use your data on new platform 1. Engage all your stakeholders in the dialog f. Don’t use free online tools: they have problems i. Free stuff will let you down ii. Free stuff is designed to spy on you 1. “If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.” iii. If you need something, pay for it 1. Costs may be justified only in terms of data resiliency. Compare the cost against the cost of needing to recover all your project management tools 2. If a free account loses data, you won’t likely get help from customer support 3. This happens all the time. For-profit companies don’t care about you iv. Threat modeling 1. Watching a kid who just learned to walk forces parents and caretakers to do threat modeling in real-time 2. Putting strategy docs online allows gov transparency 3. Greenpeace used Google for its data…and it’s classified as an eco-terrorist org…so Google is presumably leaking everything the org has to the gov 8f3be92e339e9c609049f24fa42c1c15f9ccaec7 0 193 622 2019-07-23T21:54:17Z Evelyn 10 Created page with "# Tracking leadership development ## Why we are here * Our failed attempts at tracking this were driven by funder ideas/wants that were not connected to what was important t..." wikitext text/x-wiki # Tracking leadership development ## Why we are here * Our failed attempts at tracking this were driven by funder ideas/wants that were not connected to what was important to the community.

We also need that inside our organizations. Building confidence and participation. When we can transform our organizations, change hierarchies, when more voices are on the table regardless of the size org. * At my org we do a lot of tracking but it's not consistent. We do check ins with youth and have a form, have been able to ID different leadership skills they have and what they want to learn. Some are phone banking, some are mobilizing, some are public speaking. We go through the sheet of skills and show it to them and ask where they want to grow, check in emotionally and academically. Then we type it up and it gets lost in the digital world. How we publicize it to funders is through education rates, where they are going to higher ed and jobs. Wheere we have not done a good job is distinguishing leadership and organizing. Leader and front face and the work that organizers do. We are trying to develop long term community organizers. IN the parent component we don't do check ins, we track their leadership via attendance at events. Forms and spreadsheets. We don't follow up about what they learned. Parents don't age out of the program the way youth do, parents are long term. We need a different tool, more like what we do with the youth. There is no culmination like graduation with adult development, we need different metrics. FUnders want numbers. How do we develop parents to be community organizers and be the best community organizers ever. We also try to measure their comprehension of our campaigns. If they don't understand our work we need to get ourselves together. Where are we lacking in involving youth and parents in our larger work. Making sure we are prepping folks to talk about our work. HR is also underdeveloped so staff development is super disconnected. Review and reflection is imporant to continued growth! * Tracking adult development.

Makes people feel good to reach things. * Using something like strengths-finder to ID and cultivate strengths/paths for leadership. This can also support matching people to work on stuff together. * Milestones for growth * Skills inventories that people fill out every 6th months, with where are you at with all these and where do you want to focus your growth? This can yield interesting longitudinal and individual data, can tell a story and also invite reflection for growth * Capacity for tracking is a real issue. Needs to be a conversation. Articulate the value of the data collection. * Having participants do their own entry via a form. THen you can do analysis/ID for outreach on the back end. * How to measure community outreach done by others/connections to people so that people's work on behalf of your org can be acknowledged * Aspiration's hypothesis is 1) tech skills lead to leadership development in orgs and networks and 2) participatory methods and facilitation skills lead to leadership development. These can be applied to people at every level of an org, not just leadership. Having these skills makes you valuable to an org. Tech capacity building is the carrot for leadership development. Very tactical skills. Then people use these skills in ways that elevate them within the organization. Cultivate people recognizing their own power. We can measure this by growth of skills and within the org. * We ID people in our networks who have the "spark" around participatory methods/frameworks and try to work with them to learn from them and bring them closer, elevating them within the network so the whole network becomes more participatory. * One to one, within an org, within a network <--this is how we scale/talk to funders about scale. We only call it leadership development when we need to for a grant. * Where is the space for conflict resolution/creative problem solving in this? * Great Q! People often are bringing those skills already (part of the spark?) We can also tap into our networks about that. Connect with people who can train on that, we don't focus on it. * Managing group dynamics/conflict is also important to facilitation * Could get better at managing vulnerability/supporting people's growth * Challenge: How do you track leadership development when people move around organizationally? We WANT people to go other places! * Alumni tracking--retain relationships and have people report back to you * Case management as a model. But this is can be heavy systems burden. * Are there sector-wide metrics we could track about how our ideas are taking root? * Story collection/story banking * We all take what we have learned, the good and the bad, with us when we move on * What does it mean to be developing leadership in a freelance context/without an organization? * There is an underrated social/relational element of leadership development 93385bea396790eb14017f226b63e9607dcb91c1 623 622 2019-07-23T21:54:57Z Evelyn 10 wikitext text/x-wiki '''Tracking leadership development''' '''Why we are here''' * Our failed attempts at tracking this were driven by funder ideas/wants that were not connected to what was important to the community.

THen you can do analysis/ID for outreach on the back end. * How to measure community outreach done by others/connections to people so that people's work on behalf of your org can be acknowledged * Aspiration's hypothesis is 1) tech skills lead to leadership development in orgs and networks and 2) participatory methods and facilitation skills lead to leadership development. These can be applied to people at every level of an org, not just leadership. Having these skills makes you valuable to an org. Tech capacity building is the carrot for leadership development. Very tactical skills. Then people use these skills in ways that elevate them within the organization. Cultivate people recognizing their own power. We can measure this by growth of skills and within the org. * We ID people in our networks who have the "spark" around participatory methods/frameworks and try to work with them to learn from them and bring them closer, elevating them within the network so the whole network becomes more participatory. * One to one, within an org, within a network <--this is how we scale/talk to funders about scale. We only call it leadership development when we need to for a grant. * Where is the space for conflict resolution/creative problem solving in this? * Great Q! People often are bringing those skills already (part of the spark?) We can also tap into our networks about that. Connect with people who can train on that, we don't focus on it. * Managing group dynamics/conflict is also important to facilitation * Could get better at managing vulnerability/supporting people's growth * Challenge: How do you track leadership development when people move around organizationally? We WANT people to go other places! * Alumni tracking--retain relationships and have people report back to you * Case management as a model. But this is can be heavy systems burden. * Are there sector-wide metrics we could track about how our ideas are taking root? * Story collection/story banking * We all take what we have learned, the good and the bad, with us when we move on * What does it mean to be developing leadership in a freelance context/without an organization? * There is an underrated social/relational element of leadership development bd3ca66253f5ae8b2e47268d1d27c9d55bb74be5 0 194 624 2019-07-23T22:16:27Z Evelyn 10 Created page with "Background: Andrea - Works as a developer, exclusively as a non-profit.

Goals is to better understand how to serve the community Jared - Data Roads Foundation (coop) — from tech IT side, video games, and dev ops. Didn’t realize his love for work with non-profits until recently. Maxwell - Worked in tech as a product designer for 6 years. Wanting to make amends for the things he’s done before. Ray - Previous tech experience has all been commercial, want to better understand how to organize tech into situations that can create change Elise - Doesn’t work in tech or non-profit, but transitioning into tech and wanting to make sure she learns about the stories in order to be better when she does transition into tech. Adriana - non profit sector - works with LA CoOp lab. Wants to see what has been working and what hasn’t been working. What kind of solutions can we come up with that are outside of the $$$ structures we have now. How do we not be so extractive with technology Dean - Been in tech for a long time, multi-million dollar budgets to small shoestring budgets. Maxwell - worked at first startup 6 years ago as a designer. Worked on car rental platform startup. Design from communications to product. Target audience - people who want to drive for Uber and Lyft (people who need a car for ST use). Called one of the higher money makers to get user research feedback on a product and was surprised by how taken aback the customer was that the company would even call her for feedback. She talked about how the company was ruining her life and putting her into debt. He started considering that the business is nasty, gives this feedback to the company but the company didn’t care and is changing their business model from one case. Lessons: Assess the companies you are joining and understand what they are doing, what the repercussions are for people on the fringes of the product As a creator, you underestimate the agency you have to say yes or no to. Be aware of what you’re doing or making Ray - worked commercial, he worked with everyone that is technical. Now in non-profit, not everyone is technical — and where the focus wasn’t the technology there were adjustments needed. He then went in and did assessments of security and technology. “Okay, well definitely the data that we’re managing should be protected”. He wrote up this document for a GPG security encryption (it’s a security encryption protocol), because everyone uses GPG, so eh. He was familiar with it and it seemed like all the staff were super confident - he presented it to the Executive Director, and she said “no, no… this is not going to work”. He decided to sit down with someone and actually try to generate keys, and he realized as he was sitting down with several folks — he realized that none of his grandiose plans were going to ever work. The plans didn’t necessarily match with the reality of his work place. Lessons: Assessments are academic — implementation is what really matters. Be more familiar with day-to-days of the actual people, and don’t assume / presume too much. Don’t treat technology as universal or first, the people should be the ones where the needs come from first. Jared - Working on this game for a new console that was coming out, called “Girl with a stick” (street fighter-esque // melee battle game). The character was this futuristic woman who was set in Africa. Jared had questioned “uh.. shouldn’t we get a black woman to help us to create this character?”. That whole comment and idea got shot down completely, and the majority white male company moved on in creating the game. Lessons: The whole game industry should unionize. The platform consoles are vertically monopolizing all things about games. Basically the old school studios of Hollywood — whom are dictating all the genre and media is going to be. There needs to be anti-trust action on all of the big companies of Sony, etc. Andrea - Many years ago Andrea was working 2 years in the non profit world. She got a request from this amazing organization about youth. They started the discovery process and started creating needs, etc… She was happy to be on the project no matter what. As the product finished in it’s lifecycle, they actually ran usability tests. When they ran into a problem. The user base didn’t realize they had to actually use the thing because they were in the demographic of elderly, old-school, in-real-life type people. The company hired consultants but the folks never took into consideration who was going to use it // and they never asked. It was a lot of effort and time wasted that could have been used on another organization. Lessons: Always understand who is going to use it. Know who your customers are and don’t just dive into spending time and energy. Adriana - Did a redesign of a website, she was the communications lead where she leased with the team. At some point, the designers came back with an amazing design. The project manager, was the middleman between her and the developers. Essentially they didn’t build out the design to spec and there were so many layers of back and forth between the two groups. She ended up doing the job of the project manager and was always “protective” of the time of the developers. But when she was finally able to talk to the developer — everything was gravy. Lessons: Having direct contact with the developers or their project management tools. If there is a way to do a shared project management system — that would create more agency. Dean - Running an R&D lab, Sony came to them, that they’re backing up huge amounts of files. Sony says we have a great solution, a device that will back up everything that they need — it was called the “Petafile”. Dean said “umm… maybe you should change that name” to the Sony people. Sony was like “Nah, you’re not a marketing guy — we’re not changing the name”. Eventually the device became known as the “PetaTower”. Lessons: Always have a bilingual person consulting you on the things you’re making in other languages. Question: What is a successful method or way that you work with technology in your environments? You have to be a psychologist and planting seeds of ideas to other people and pretend that it’s their idea in order to be able to take your initiatives forward. Assume NOTHING. Don’t create media outside your own experiences Know your audience Know your audience’s tech literacy (within or outside) Building trust and relationships with your community in order to better your work relationships Resources: Strive Digital (for texting) Hustle (for texting) cded4d27cab93323bd7edb9ef95841b979c8b2b2 625 624 2019-07-23T22:16:46Z Evelyn 10 wikitext text/x-wiki Background: Andrea - Works as a developer, exclusively as a non-profit.

Not non-profit. Owned by workers. Vote on management. Pay vs investment. LA Coop Lab teaches in LA. Your introduction point depends on where you are in co-op organizing. El Centro promote co-ops. Business trainings. Different little co-ops sitting each other now. El Markedito Carousel. Cooperacion Central. Land Trust forming. Getting access to a public lot for community land trust. City is pro-gentrification, pro-police, anti-people. Lots of people like having idea of no boss. Community is collective boss -- collaboration is imperative. Member vesting. Patronage and vote come after this meeting period. Vote in new members. Some majority vote, some consensus (like new member acceptance). It's really hard to fire an owner. Owners have different rights than workers. Smaller is easier. Wanted infrastructure to have more employees. Hired too many people -- big mistake. New hires displaced earlier members. Trickier politics. Didn't have capacity to build proper relationships with so many new workers. Power dynamics and rifts exploded due to conflict avoidance. Hard to ease new people into old conversations. Zingerman’s Books on co-ops Andrea from Design Action Collective -- web development/design worker owned co-op Established “points of unity” Only works with social justice and environmental justice organizations Design Action Collective is happy to share experiences and tools with folks who want to start co-ops (e.g. bylaws etc) Design Action Collective is a part of a union. Design Action Collective. 40 years. Spin-off 3 years ago. Inherited bylaws, structure, added as new people come on. Cultural not just paper. Web development and tech harder to standardize than print. Co-ops are path to liberation. Point of reference to start thinking about own co-op business. Goal to share learning experience about Co-op organization. The Working World is a radical lender that brought together co-op developers across the country who then developed a national financial co-operative called Seed Commons L.A. Co-op Lab is a member of the financial co-operative and can help folks apply for financing (patient/non-extractive lending) What to do if you want to start a co-op? Find a co-op developer in your city In L.A.? → go to L.A. Co-op Lab Santa Ana → Cooperación Santa Ana (part of a larger movement resisting gentrification in Santa Ana that also recently formed a land trust) What have you done to spread the word about co-ops?

An effective database builds up a picture of your constituents, both on individual level and big picture. You’ll need to decide what data you want to collect, and note the variability of contact info for marginalized communities 2. It might be helpful to ask staff/Board/volunteers what changes you’re hoping to see/ accomplish (behavior, attitude, action). 3. Differentiate what data is important for your organization and what is important to funders; it is equally important to collect both. 4. When switching CRM’s or tweaking your current system to work better for you, onboard new staff, establish clarity of process and expectations, and create a rudimentary guide showing how to accomplish top tasks. What Brings You to this Session? * Nancy (IDEPSCA): ** Starting to use Powerbase; wants to talk about the shift of using a new CRM ** Other issues: reporting back to funders, tracking data takes time and effort, big accomplishments over time get lost ** Jazmyn designed Powerbase for previous org, can help Nancy. * Shirley (API Equality LA) ** Looking to synthesize communications & donor tracking in 1 software * Tiffany (UC Santa Cruz) ** Nonprofit serves population of 1600 people and has a five-person Board. ** Wants to learn how to store personal contact info safely, alternatives to Google Contacts * Jazmyn ** Has a research/data background, currently bringing that knowledge to nonprofits in how to tell deeper stories and trends that data shows, has dealt with a lot of pushback from leadership not recognizing the value of data * Lisa ** After Leadership Tracking seminar, the next logical step is to talk about how/where nonprofit data is stored ** What interests Lisa is the data model, or structure of the information you need to collect and how they’re related to each other Discussion Topic 1: What would a database need or have in order to be effective? * It tracks something about people over time that involves collection of information from them * Ideally, it presents a holistic view of person/constituent, so staff/volunteers can look for themes and changes in individual growth, as well as a big-picture of the organization. ** Example: - If someone comes to a membership meetings every month, that paints a really compelling story about their involvement. * Log every storytelling/relationship building activity (meetings, 1:1’s) – anything substantial. Discussion Topic 2: What questions should we be asking to collect good data? * Start with staff/volunteers: what changes do you want to see, what are you hoping to accomplish? Is it a behavior, attitude, or action? (Then, figure out your data collection method. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck with generic info like attendance.) * A follow up question for staff might be: what ladder of development opportunities are you offering for members of your organization? * How difficult is it to get to our event? How motivated are you to attend our events? What is your impression of X? * A lot of qualitative data lives internally within staff, volunteers, etc. Therefore, think about how to frame better questions to get rich story of constituents/members. * When intentionally collecting stories, ask “how does you current work relate to what you did with us X years ago?” Example: alumni tracking Discussion Topic 3: Data Analysis * You can do a word analysis and see which words/ themes are being most used. * When analyzing your data and impact, if you see that Person A and Person B have the same impact/result but have followed a widely different “ladder of engagement,” reassess your ladder. If skillset gained does not match up to activities to get there, evaluate program. * Capacity to do analysis is an ongoing issue. It has to be made a consistent priority. Clarity of process and expectations helps. Have the person you’re training use their notes to create a rudimentary process guide or top 5 tasks guide. Discussion Topic 4: What are the different CRM’s out there? * Saas can create mind maps but it needs the data behind it. * Atlas is a research tool. * Bloomerang is a CRM * Powerbase does have a volunteer tracking tool, it can track phonebank shifts or hours tracking. Discussion Topic 5: Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data * Most CRM’s don’t analyze your data for you, they only facilitate it so that you can perform your analysis. * Numbers don’t tell the full story to funders and the general public – stories do. Funders usually dictate how they want to see your data, but if we keep demanding stories over “hard numbers,” the world will eventually shift. ** Example: IDEPSCA has a group of 15 workers who have been involved and active for X years consistently; even though it is a “small” number, the years of involvement tell a bigger story based on lifestyles/how hard it is for them to be involved. Discussion Topic 6: Making the switch to a new CRM * People often transition out of an organization before they get to document the important relational stuff, especially when working with marginalized communities. * With turnover, you can lose historical year-to-year information and/or have variable contact information, especially when working with marginalized communities. * Make it a priority to onboard staff/teach the important information to track. ** Make sure your onboarding/database teaching is inclusive: a lot of people would rather watch a video than read a manual. To make your own video, record your computer screen doing database tasks while recording your voice. * When making the switch from paper to database, collect data/surveys on paper first, and then transfer data into the database at a convenient date, maybe via intern. Another option would be to use text recognition software exists. * Pinpoint what information is important for you and what funders want to know. Each are equally important. 495b973cfddc5a39c6f519bdac8ef1a877fff3d4 0 205 653 2019-07-24T17:12:23Z Evelyn 10 Created page with "'''Tracking leadership development''' '''Why we are here''' * Our failed attempts at tracking this were driven by funder ideas/wants that were not connected to what was impo..." wikitext text/x-wiki '''Tracking leadership development''' '''Why we are here''' * Our failed attempts at tracking this were driven by funder ideas/wants that were not connected to what was important to the community. Engagement not leadership. Higher end was political actions, lower end were community events--membership event participation were not tracked as a whole story, every month for 12 months. * Ladder/web/grid of engagement--want to know what practices people have used to ID where folks are at, where folks can be moved "up" or "sideways", what metrics people have used. Also HOW and actual mechanisms for tracking that are not linear/one-dimensional, like assigning points to signing a petition etc. Ladder, grid, web, etc. * Echo all this, esp tracking driven by fundable actions. We use Bloomerang (CRM) to track this. We track events that people attend and use the # of how many events they have attended to design our outreach, it's not working ok but could be a lot better. Also use RSPV forms. This is more engagement than leadership. Not tracked but think about it in a relational way--who knows who, what their interests are, what they want to do. * How do we systematize recording and analysis of this relational stuff? * New frontier in program to track leaders. Right now there is a form people fill out re their experiences with the leadership. Just a start. Lack of understanding of what leadership is doing? Mission is to empower students to use tech tools for social justice.

How do organizations transmit leadership to the communities they work with? 99Rootz talked about it yesterday. They are seeing high schoolers talk more about themselves and their work and that is sign of growth. More expansive ways of thinking about leadership. Finding your own voice. We also need that inside our organizations. Building confidence and participation. When we can transform our organizations, change hierarchies, when more voices are on the table regardless of the size org. * At my org we do a lot of tracking but it's not consistent. We do check ins with youth and have a form, have been able to ID different leadership skills they have and what they want to learn. Some are phone banking, some are mobilizing, some are public speaking. We go through the sheet of skills and show it to them and ask where they want to grow, check in emotionally and academically. Then we type it up and it gets lost in the digital world. How we publicize it to funders is through education rates, where they are going to higher ed and jobs. Wheere we have not done a good job is distinguishing leadership and organizing. Leader and front face and the work that organizers do. We are trying to develop long term community organizers. IN the parent component we don't do check ins, we track their leadership via attendance at events. Forms and spreadsheets. We don't follow up about what they learned. Parents don't age out of the program the way youth do, parents are long term. We need a different tool, more like what we do with the youth. There is no culmination like graduation with adult development, we need different metrics. FUnders want numbers. How do we develop parents to be community organizers and be the best community organizers ever. We also try to measure their comprehension of our campaigns. If they don't understand our work we need to get ourselves together. Where are we lacking in involving youth and parents in our larger work. Making sure we are prepping folks to talk about our work. HR is also underdeveloped so staff development is super disconnected. Review and reflection is imporant to continued growth! * Tracking adult development.

I would have liked it to include a self-evaluation as well. It was great to hear his feedback but it was a missed opportunity. Any time for employees to reflect on their goals/role/opportunities for growth is ideal. Share ideas with other staff. * Put professional development in workplans, budgets, staff meetings (for the latter, time to discuss opportunities with each other) * Using belts/badges/milestones that people reach. Makes people feel good to reach things. * Using something like strengths-finder to ID and cultivate strengths/paths for leadership. This can also support matching people to work on stuff together. * Milestones for growth * Skills inventories that people fill out every 6th months, with where are you at with all these and where do you want to focus your growth?

These can be applied to people at every level of an org, not just leadership. Having these skills makes you valuable to an org. Tech capacity building is the carrot for leadership development. Very tactical skills. Then people use these skills in ways that elevate them within the organization. Cultivate people recognizing their own power. We can measure this by growth of skills and within the org. * We ID people in our networks who have the "spark" around participatory methods/frameworks and try to work with them to learn from them and bring them closer, elevating them within the network so the whole network becomes more participatory. * One to one, within an org, within a network <--this is how we scale/talk to funders about scale. We only call it leadership development when we need to for a grant. * Where is the space for conflict resolution/creative problem solving in this? * Great Q! People often are bringing those skills already (part of the spark?) We can also tap into our networks about that. Connect with people who can train on that, we don't focus on it. * Managing group dynamics/conflict is also important to facilitation * Could get better at managing vulnerability/supporting people's growth * Challenge: How do you track leadership development when people move around organizationally? We WANT people to go other places! * Alumni tracking--retain relationships and have people report back to you * Case management as a model.

Engagement not leadership. Higher end was political actions, lower end were community events--membership event participation were not tracked as a whole story, every month for 12 months. * Ladder/web/grid of engagement--want to know what practices people have used to ID where folks are at, where folks can be moved "up" or "sideways", what metrics people have used. Also HOW and actual mechanisms for tracking that are not linear/one-dimensional, like assigning points to signing a petition etc. Ladder, grid, web, etc. * Echo all this, esp tracking driven by fundable actions. We use Bloomerang (CRM) to track this. We track events that people attend and use the # of how many events they have attended to design our outreach, it's not working ok but could be a lot better. Also use RSPV forms. This is more engagement than leadership. Not tracked but think about it in a relational way--who knows who, what their interests are, what they want to do. * How do we systematize recording and analysis of this relational stuff? * New frontier in program to track leaders. Right now there is a form people fill out re their experiences with the leadership. Just a start. Lack of understanding of what leadership is doing? Mission is to empower students to use tech tools for social justice.
